Dive into an ocean you can swim through.
Swim from the coral reef down to the Challenger Deep, through kelp forests and ocean trenches, to famous wrecks. You can read up on everything you see.
01 / The idea
An ocean where the depth is right.
Boundless Deep 3D is the sister project of Boundless Expanse: the same idea, pointed downwards. You set off on your own or follow a guided journey, and the depth gauge keeps count. At the top it is bright, further down it is dim, at the bottom it is dark.
The depth figures are correct, and every species and every place is documented. The scene itself is an artistic cross-section drawn from many places. The project says so too.
4 ways down.
- 01
Wildlife
Coral reef and seagrass meadow with shoals of fish, an octopus and a manta ray. The display tells you what is swimming nearby.
- 02
Habitats
Kelp forest, reef and open water: each zone has its own light and its own inhabitants.
- 03
Wrecks
Titanic, Endurance and Bismarck, each wreck at the depth where it lies today.
- 04
Deep sea
From the twilight zone into the ocean trench, past black smokers where life gets by without any sunlight.
Under water with the whole class in less than a minute.
A class code starts the whole group in the same lesson. 6 learning goals lead from the reef to the hadal zone, and a short quiz ends with a certificate. It runs on any school tablet, laptop or projector.
For museums there is a kiosk mode: full screen, multilingual, able to run offline, on your own hardware. Add a VR headset and it becomes a VR station with no app to install.
