What is EarthIn360?
EarthIn360 brings the world's most extraordinary and threatened marine habitats directly to you — no passport required. Using cutting-edge 360° video and virtual reality, we let you explore coral reefs, kelp forests, and seagrass meadows from your living room, classroom, or wherever you are.
Explore the World Beneath the Waves
Most of the planet's most spectacular life exists somewhere you'll probably never visit — deep below the ocean surface, in remote coral gardens and ancient kelp cathedrals. EarthIn360 changes that.
Step Inside the Reef
Strap on a headset — or just pick up your phone — and find yourself hovering above a coral garden teeming with fish, turtles, and colour. No wetsuit required. EarthIn360 uses photorealistic 360° video captured by marine scientists on real dives, so every frame is the real thing.
Discover What's at Stake
Half of the world's coral reefs have been lost in the last thirty years. Seagrass meadows — which store more carbon per hectare than rainforests — are disappearing faster than we can map them. EarthIn360 shows you these habitats at their best, and explains why they matter for the climate, for food, and for us.
Learn and Take Action
Each habitat comes with curated facts, expert commentary, and links to the conservation organisations working to protect it. Whether you're a student, a curious adult, or a teacher looking for something genuinely unforgettable to show your class, EarthIn360 meets you where you are.
The Great Barrier Reef Project
The Great Barrier Reef is the largest living structure on Earth — and one of the most threatened. Our research team is travelling to Australia to capture never-before-seen 8K 360° footage of reef systems across the Queensland coast, working with local dive operators and marine conservation partners on the ground.
This footage will become the centrepiece of a major study investigating how experiencing the reef in virtual reality changes what people believe it's worth protecting — and how much they'd be willing to do about it. We believe that seeing is believing: when people truly experience what's at stake, conservation decisions change.
660 participants across Australia will take part in the study, putting on a Meta Quest 3 headset and diving into the reef before answering questions about conservation value and willingness to support reef protection. The results will directly inform policy advice to environmental agencies in both the UK and Australia.
