KIND Almond Acres Initiative

The problem was simple, it is costly to bring stakeholders to the almond orchard. Co-Innovating with KIND we realized that we wanted to build something that would wow stakeholders, but also be educational, fun, and scalable. We quickly decided to build an immersive VR application that would be deployed to 50 Quest 2 headsets to be shipped to stakeholders and the media. This way we can bring the orchard to them.

We didn’t want to stop there though. We wanted to bring this experience to as many people as we could. Using our knowledge and explorations during the Metaverse hype we were able to provide an immersive solution that would not only work in VR headsets, but also on the web and mobile.  

The final solution was built with WebXR technologies. We worked closely with KIND, their media contractors that were onsite at the orchard to rapidly build a solution that felt like you were standing directly in the orchard on a hot California summer day with birds chirping and bees buzzing around you.
