Ever wanted to explore the ocean without getting wet? Now’s your chance! KP Projects has partnered with Ouse Valley Climate Action to bring The Living Coast Undersea Experience (TLCUE) to festivals and venues across East Sussex this summer.
TLCUE is a unique, immersive virtual reality experience, enabling people of all ages to take a virtual dive in our local Marine Conservation Zone (which runs from Brighton Marina to Beachy Head). Here in one of the world’s only chalk reefs, a multitude of sea life can be found – from rare Short Snouted Seahorses and marathon swimming European Eels, to Moon Jellyfish, Undulate Rays, Common Oysters, Blue Mussels and much more.
Launched on World Ocean day, TLCUE summer tour offers visitors two kinds of experiences:
The Living Coast 360 film – pop on a headset and dive beneath the waves with a breathtaking 360-degree film that places you right in the heart of the Marine Conservation Zone. Explore for free at the following places:
- Sustainable Seaford Fair – 21 June
- Moving On, Lewes – 4 July
- Peacehaven Summer Fair – 12 July
Fully Interactive Undersea Experience – these ticketed events offer a more explorative and fully interactive virtual reality experience. Visitors can move through the chalk reef habitat, lift digital rocks and discover the fascinating species that live beneath the surface of the Sussex sea.
