Immotion, a global leader in immersive edutainment, has collaborated with top zoos and aquariums across five continents over the past seven years, providing immersive VR experiences that educate, entertain, and promote conservation. Now, as a worldwide leader in immersive edutainment, the company is expanding into science museums and centres, continuing its tradition of combining mission-focused storytelling with educational initiatives.
“This is a strategic move into new educational institutions,” says Rod Findley, president & CEO of Immotion. “We’re blending science and spectacle to create engaging content that supports the missions of science museums and centers.”
Live action VR content that complements STEM programmes
Immotion’s strategy has consistently centred on partnerships. With zoos and aquariums, the company has produced live-action VR content that supports conservation efforts. These films, which highlight endangered species and marine life education, can also be experienced at science museums and centres, as they also complement STEM programmes and inspire audiences to take action.
Each film aims to do more than just entertain visually; it serves as an engaging and memorable educational tool for audiences of all ages. Whether it’s illustrating climate change via the extinction of dinosaurs or delving into the depths of the planet’s oceans, Immotion guarantees that its content connects seamlessly with institutional missions.
This strategy is currently developing through collaborations with the Phillip and Patricia Frost Museum of Science in Miami, Spain’s Museu de les Ciències in Valencia, Parque de las Ciencias by Toroverde in Puerto Rico, and the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.
“We’re excited to explore how this new VR experience can complement our mission of inspiring curiosity and understanding of the natural world,” says Julia Spalding-Beegles, director of experiences and partnerships at the Denver Museum of Nature & Science.
“Immotion’s ability to merge educational content with immersive storytelling opens up exciting possibilities for science engagement.”
Meet the team at ASTC 2025
Immotion’s newest release, Dinosaur: Evolution (July 2025), takes viewers 65 million years back in time with scientifically accurate storytelling, narrated by renowned palaeontologist Dr. Phillip Manning. Future projects include a polar bear conservation film and a space exploration journey, as the company continues to align its VR experiences with educational goals.
As Immotion expands its partnerships with science museums and centres, it introduces a proven approach that merges education, engagement, and innovation. This results in a collection of experiences that entertain while enhancing understanding of science, nature, and the planet’s future for audiences worldwide.
