David Attenborough and Meta today release another lavishly produced VR documentary exclusively for Meta Quest headsets.
Over the past few years, award-winning studio Atlantic Productions, with the help of David Attenborough and the support of Meta, has released a series of stunning VR documentaries that are among the best the VR film genre has to offer. From Micro Monsters to Kingdom of Plants and First Life to Conquest of Skies, these VR documentaries have garnered more than 3.2 million views to date.
Today sees the release of another VR documentary in collaboration with Meta and the famous British biologist and documentary filmmaker.
The studio describes Galapagos VR as follows:
A novelty: The series introduces Quillustrations
Galapagos is the first VR documentary in the Attenborough series to use Quillustrations. These are spatial paintings drawn and animated in and for VR, bringing a dynamic narrative to the natural history storytelling genre. The 3D paintings depict volcanic eruptions, Charles Darwin’s discovery of natural selection, and the Galapagos phytoplankton phenomenon.
These spatial paintings were created by an international team: Samia Khalaf, a US-based artist with Lebanese-Palestinian roots; Zoe Röllin, a Swiss artist; and Ruxandra Popescu, a Romanian artist living in Ireland. VR artist Dan Franke has created the series intro in Quill, uniting the three artists’ distinct, yet cohesive styles across the production.
How to watch Galapagos VR in the best possible quality
Galapagos will be released today exclusively for Meta Quest. The VR documentary consists of three episodes, which, like previous works from the production house, are all available in 3D 180° and 8K resolution.
Commenting on the release of the VR film, David Attenborough said: “This small group of islands has revealed in microcosm the processes that have shaped all life on Earth. Unlike many other tropical islands elsewhere, 95% of Galapagos biodiversity still survives. But only just. We have the chance to bring back the full glory of this fragile ecosystem.”
