MetAmazonia
MetAmazonia is a real-time project made at ZOAN that recreates digitally a conservation area in the Amazon Rainforest for companies and individuals to get a closer look at where and how the resources invested in the client's conservation programme is allocated. Showcased to the public for the first time at the Dubai's Gitex Global 2022, the project is currently expanding and acquiring new partners.
Made with the Unreal Engine 5, the project is a metaverse-like experience to explore and interact with one of the 15 villages that our client assists in the region. A virtual-twin of the region has been made to allow people from all over the world to access and understand how's life in such a remote place, giving a contextualization of who are the people who live and depend on the Amazon Rainforest directly.

To achieve such fidelity in its details, I have travelled with our team to remote areas in the Amazon Rainforest to document and catalog hundreds of items, constructions and vegetation to be digitized. A scanning of the region provided us with an accurate aerial view of the rainforest and the villages, which were then reconstructed by our team of artists to a 1:1 representation. Even unique vegetation such as the Brazilian Nuts trees and the Açai Berry palm were digitized exclusively for this project.
One my all time favorite projects, this one not only took me to a unique and important place in the world but also set a new quality standard on how to do immersive experiences, letting me help our teams to create new workflows for high-quality assets and helping our client to define their business model with immersive technologies as their support.
