The United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP) recently launched a new online educational tool in the metaverse, titled “Apollo’s Edition”. This game is free to play and is designed to help players aged 13 to 18 learn about environmental education, particularly the dangers of not protecting the planet’s ozone layer, its consequences, and how to help in its recovery.

The game utilizes in-game avatars for players to interact with, allowing them to gain an understanding of the importance of the ozone layer, and how to protect it. The avatars are created with motion capture technology, which records real-life actors to give the character of Apollo movements, expressions, and emotions. This allows players to connect with the character, and get a more immersive experience into the game.

Apollo’s Edition is available for free on the Reset Earth platform, which is a host for various educational metaverse games created by UNEP. The platform is designed to widen the reach of environmental education, and make understanding the dangers of the ozone layer more accessible to a larger audience.

UNEP is hoping that Apollo’s Edition will make a positive impact in the realm of environmental education, and help players gain a better understanding of the ozone layer and the importance of protecting it. With more people educated on the subject, the organization is optimistic that more people will take the necessary steps to help the planet.
