Habitat Projects:
The Deep Sea Virtual Habitat
Explore a dynamic, AI-powered, 3D open world on a coral reef 1000 meters deep.
The deep sea is essential to life on Earth. Deep sea coral reefs have fed the planet, stored carbon, and sheltered biodiversity from mass extinctions.
Deep sea reefs are a critical part of the world’s food web. The habitat is a
vast resource that we still don’t understand. So we must explore.
But the reefs are thousands of feet down, hidden in
darkness and incredible pressure. You’ll need a
$70 million submersible, a 270 foot ship
and a crew of 50 to visit a deep sea coral reef.
We believe there’s a better way. A way to bring the
deep sea to students, scientists, institutions and the public.
The Deep Sea Virtual Habitat (DSVH)
will be an innovative destination for
research, modelling, and visual
exploration in the deep sea.
Until now, no model has harnessed real deep sea data to produce a living, evolving environment. The technology simply didn’t exist. That’s changing.
Our science partners at The Cordes Lab have mapped a 250 mile reef on the Mid-Atlantic Ridge. They’ve gathered rich datasets on geology, chemistry, and population. This data will power a generative AI model that grows and adapts alongside scientific discovery.
Just as studios like Lionsgate train AI on film libraries, we’re doing it with the deep sea. We’re building a data twin of the Earth’s last frontier.
