Abstract

Conversational AI is poised to play an increasingly prominent role in shaping the future of immersive learning application design, offering personalized, immersive, and collaborative learning experiences that enhance engagement, motivation, and knowledge acquisition. This project utilizes conversational AI technology to develop an immersive application educating users about the significance of conserving marine resources, aligning with the United Nations' sustainability goals. This is achieved through the development of a 3D game that engages users in activities such as ocean cleanup, recycling, and marine life rescue, facilitated by conversational AI that provides educational content on ocean preservation. This collaborative research, conducted by students from the University of Westminster and UAS BFI Vienna, assesses the educational impact of interactive simulations in fostering awareness and motivating sustainable behavior among the public. The findings of this project showcase the potential of gamified learning in promoting environmental responsibility and contributing to global sustainability efforts. Through this initiative, the team aims to contribute to global sustainability efforts while learning about educational technology practices.
