From concept to field impact. 🌍🎧

In Somalia, we had the opportunity to present our Virtual Reality application developed for FAO as part of the Future of Pastoralism initiative. Using immersive storytelling and interactive environments, the experience allows stakeholders to step directly into pastoral communities, understand real challenges on the ground, and explore data and scenarios in a way that flat screens simply can’t deliver.

During the presentation, participants experienced the VR first-hand on Meta Quest headsets, sparking deep conversations around food systems, climate resilience, mobility, and decision-making. This wasn’t just a demo, it was a working tool for dialogue, empathy, and policy thinking.

Proud of the collaboration behind this build and the momentum it’s creating for XR in development and humanitarian work.

Special shout-out to our developer for helping bring this experience to life with precision and care.

Somalia 🇸🇴 → immersive tech → real-world impact.
