Use either the arrow keys or “WASD” keys to navigate the VR environment on a computer. On mobile, just hold the phone upright and look around or place it on a VR device to view.
Project Description
The goal of this project is to design and build a fictional world that envisions where we may be headed.
- Draw from real-life experience and science
- Think of the all the changes that could have occurred
- Environment, species, infrastructure, technology, etc.
- Be creative and think out of the box
I crafted a futuristic world that focuses on the human population and the effects of overpopulation.
As the human population grows the space for everyone shrinks. Humans engineered the technology to bring cities to the sky.
Significance
Overpopulation is a condition where the human population exceeds the actual carrying capacity of Earth.
“Overpopulation occurs when a species’ population exceeds the carrying capacity of its ecological niche. It can result from an increase in births (fertility rate), a decline in the mortality rate, an increase in immigration, or an unsustainable biome and depletion of resources.”
This issue ultimately effects every aspect of the earth. It is a very pressing topic because it is currently happening in certain cities around the world. We need to look for ways to alleviate this issue for our future generations who will most likely be burdened with this fate.
