Abstract

Major threats to coral reefs are water pollution from sewage and agricultural runoff. dredging off the coast, careless collecting of coral specimens, and sedimentation when silt or sand from construction or mining projects muddies the waters of a reef and kills coral, which needs light to live. This project proposes an alternative solution to this problem through establishing a virtual reality installation that is interactive and evolving, enabling many visitors to discover the reef through high quality immersive entertainment. The project has implemented the customary process of multimedia authoring to assure the best possible outcome. The phases include Planning, Storyboarding, Design, Development, Testing, Continuance and Delivery. From the research done, it was found that the virtual reality technology can and is suitable to efficiently promote the unique characteristics of coral reefs without physically damaging it. The output of the project is an interactive application where coral reefs habitats are presented using virtual application. The coral reefs simulation can be experienced visually in the three dimensions of width, height, and depth.
