The goal of the KlimaEcho research project is to foster understanding of climate change and to encourage engagement with it through interaction design and virtual reality.

The focus is on rising sea levels and the many facets of their impact. Concrete scenarios are developed on the basis of climate data and realised as a VR experience, which will subsequently remain permanently available in the XR Lab at Magdeburg-Stendal University of Applied Sciences or be provided in documented form. Another goal is to develop interaction design patterns in order to determine which design criteria create a lasting KlimaEcho.
