Habitat XR is a multi award-winning Johannesburg-based immersive company with a burning mission: to democratise access to nature using immersive technologies.
We work with non-profit conservation organisations, government agencies and philanthropists as well as produce our own immersive environmental education experiences. We have produced immersive work from the savannah of the Kruger to the jungles of Rwanda; the springs of Yellowstone to the peaks of the Himalayas filming snow leopards. We have worked with large organisations like National Geographic and small ones; we have worked with private philanthropists and celebrities like Ellen DeGeneres. We have 4 departments:
1) Cinematic VR department with 360 degree video editors,
2) A 3D department made up of 3D modellers and animators,
3) An app-development department which creates augmented reality and hologram experiences,
4) A new engineering department which fabricates and customises hardware for immersive exhibits.
