At the World Economic Forum “Annual Meeting of the New Champions 2014” in Tianjin/China, climate change was a central concern. On this topic, the Australian artist Lynette Wallworth, the producer John Maynard and the cinematographer and Emmy award winner David Hannan realized the 360° fulldome film “Coral”: In the ZENDOME.9800FC-h, the film impressively shows the inhabitants and the fluorescence of the Great Barrier Reef. On the Immersive Media Screen, the importance that corals play in underwater ecosystems is emotionally transmitted to the audience in a sustainable way.

ZENVISION, VFX Alliance and TAUCHER produced a floating sound intermezzo, which was presented to the audience between the screenings to set the mood for the film.

Immersive cinema and science a hit at the World Economic Forum.
