The world-famous biomes at the Eden Project in Cornwall.
aql is enabling the Digital, Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) funded Eden Universe project to unlock real-time content to augment and reinforce crucial environmental messages. The project will engage audiences using accessible, understandable content such as storytelling, experiences, arts and performance.
To achieve this, a 5G evolving Non-Standalone mobile network with 360º video cameras will be deployed across the Eden Project, Cornwall as a testbed for innovative solutions.
Not only will the Eden Universe project engage the ‘connected generation’ but also allow ‘connected nature’ to be delivered to care homes and support nature-as-therapy through virtual platforms.
The Impact
- Enable “virtual visitors” to experience Eden Project exhibits and talks from their home, school or other locations.
- Deliver real-time immersive content to audiences worldwide.
- Improve facilities management of the Eden Project using integrated onsite sensor deployments.
- Deploy virtual and augmented reality-based visitor enhancement that cannot be delivered via existing networks.
