Innovative planetary sciences outreach and dissemination tools
Convener: Gloria Tognon | Co-conveners: Federica Duras, Caterina Boccato, Livia Giacomini, Stephane Le Mouelic, Gwénaël Caravaca

The rapid evolution of augmented reality, virtual reality, 3D visualisation tools, and digital platforms has revolutionized outreach and dissemination activities in the field of planetary sciences. These innovative technologies offer immersive experiences that allow individuals to explore different environments from unprecedented perspectives. Moreover, they serve as engaging and accessible tools for individuals of all ages, fostering interactive learning experiences and skills development.
In this session, we invite participants to share their experiences and insights into leveraging virtual realities for planetary sciences outreach. Through case studies and examples, we will explore the diverse applications of these technologies, from designing immersive environments to facilitating skills development and training initiatives. Additionally, we will address challenges and opportunities related to intuitiveness, inclusiveness, and the future directions of virtual reality in outreach efforts.
