Challenge: The project needed to raise awareness about the environmental impact of emissions through an immersive experience. The challenge was to create a compelling, interactive narrative that both educated and engaged visitors, making them reflect on climate change and its consequences.
Solution: By creating a decade-based immersive journey, we visualized future environmental scenarios through AR, tactile installations, and narrative storytelling. Visitors were guided through the 2030s, 2040s, and a hopeful 2050, where technology and design showcased potential paths forward. The experience combined visuals, sound, and interaction to educate and leave a lasting impression about the importance of emissions reduction, fostering an engaging and educational space for visitors.

Meet the Team
Our team embraced the challenge of creating an immersive experience to raise awareness about emissions and climate impact. Through close collaboration, we developed a conceptual journey through the 2030s, 2040s, and a hopeful 2050, integrating AR, tactile installations, and storytelling to engage and educate.
As Creative Director, I worked with each team member to ensure our vision was cohesive and impactful. Together, we crafted a compelling pitch for Dell Technologies’ VPs of Marketing, showcasing the potential of our project to leave a lasting impression on climate awareness. I’m incredibly proud of our team’s dedication to bringing this vision to life.
Marketing & Onboarding
Explore how FLUX drives The Biosphere experience from the very start. Through targeted Instagram and social media campaigns, FLUX teases the journey ahead, offering concise, engaging previews. The DELL Technologies website further enhances user interaction with integrated FLUX elements. As the event approaches, FLUX personally invites registered attendees via email, building excitement. At the expo, strategically placed retractable banners guide visitors seamlessly to the experience, ensuring everyone knows where to go and what to expect.
The Space
In designing the physical space, we’re utilizing MOLO technology to create an organic and fluid environment. Versatile white pieces will serve both as mapping tools and as stylish seating and tables in the bar area, all crafted from materials that echo our net-zero theme. LED ribbons will bring each decade to life, color-coding areas to match the distinct vibes of the 2030s, 2040s, and 2050s. Sound-absorbing partitions will strategically introduce music and ambient sounds, ensuring an immersive atmosphere without overpowering any single space.

Augmented Reality
The AR elements within The Biosphere experience have been thoughtfully developed using 8th Wall technology, offering an interactive journey through Dell’s sustainability goals. Through the precise modeling capabilities of Blender, we created detailed 3D representations of Dell factories, which are seamlessly integrated into each decade’s theme. As participants move through the 2030s, 2040s, and 2050s, these AR elements highlight the evolution of Dell’s factories and their contributions to a net-zero future. This immersive experience allows users to engage with the technological advancements and sustainable practices that are driving Dell’s vision for a better world.
