AVATARS – SEED
Breakpoint One produced a new VR experience for educational outreach with a fully integrated AI chatbot.
This VR experience is designed to spark curiosity for plant science, genetics, and biological research — especially among young audiences. We produced this experience on behalf of IPK Leibniz-Institut.
In this immersive journey, players wake from cryosleep aboard a research vessel and take on a crucial mission: reconstructing, analyzing, and understanding seeds to ensure the survival of future plant life.
All seed models featured in the experience are based directly on data and 3D structures from the underlying research project (AVATARS) — ensuring scientific accuracy and authenticity.
A research-informed AI companion
Our in-experience AI guide is powered by scientific publications, enabling it to answer questions about plant biology, genetics, and the research context in a meaningful and engaging way.
Hands-on, interactive learning
By experimenting with environmental conditions, solving reconstruction challenges, and exploring biological mechanisms, players intuitively understand complex scientific concepts through gameplay.
A project built for awareness & scientific engagement
AVATARS – SEED is part of a broader effort to make modern plant research accessible, inspiring, and relevant for younger generations.
This project showcases our capabilities in:
- immersive science communication
- VR-based educational design
- integration of real research data into interactive environments
- AI-driven knowledge companions grounded in scientific literature
- high-quality storytelling and interaction design
If your organization is exploring VR, AR, or AI-powered learning experiences — whether for education, outreach, training, or research visualization — we’d be excited to collaborate.
AVATARS – SEED is now available free on the Meta Store for Quest 3 headsets.
We welcome conversations, partnerships, and new projects that bring science and innovation to life.
This project was funded by Bundesministerium für Forschung, Technologie und Raumfahrt
