Interplanetary VR Sustainable Futures explores a VR environment linking space art to earth sustainability with digital images to illuminate or inform each of the 17 UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). This VR experience is the culmination of a collaboration with ASU’s Interplanetary Initiative and Leonardo, connecting space research with the SDGs. The VR art environment designed and created by William T. Ayton, with ASU Meteor Studio, features work by 15 artists selected from across the Leosphere.
