OUR MISSION
EXPERIENCE AND EXPLORE
Our mission is to enable people around the world to experience and explore the beauty of nature and of sacred sites of exceptional cultural heritage – often inaccessible or remote locations – by presenting them in high quality virtual reality, with full 6DOF (six degrees of freedom) of movement.
WE TAKE YOU THERE
BLUEPLANET VR was formed because we want to take you there – as if you were actually there – and share our deep commitment to honoring and preserving these magnificent, fragile locations, share the peace and tranquility they offer, and inspire people around the world to take action to save our beautiful, blue planet.
A DEEPER CONNECTION
Led by Blueplanet VR founder Eric Hanson (former leading VFX Technical Director at Digital Domain, Sony Imageworks, Dream Quest Images and Walt Disney Feature Animation), we’re a multiple award-winning, cross-disciplinary team of Virtual Reality and VFX specialists and producers, world explorers, outdoors enthusiasts and historians, who share a goal to provide long-lasting, rewarding experiences which foster a deeper connection to the land and the Earth – providing both an emotional connection and an educational experience.
RESPECT AND PROTECT
We want to show you often fragile or unknown wonders of the world, inspire both awe and hope, and help engage people to recognize the need to respect and protect these treasures.
Concern for the environment often comes from direct experience – and being as close as we can get to experiencing a sense of actually being there, we believe that 6DOF VR can play a unique role.
Welcome to Blueplanet VR – enjoy your journeys, and let us know what you think!

FULL FREEDOM OF MOVEMENT
“With a high level of photogrammetry execution and art direction, BPVR offers the viewer a strong sense of presence and open exploration within these remarkable locations.
Real immersion lets me stand life-sized next to a wall or doorway, and even walk around an object and look at it from all sides. There are a number of experiences that immerse you in a given location, but few with as much variety as Blueplanet VR.”
