a Climate Simulation (Global Warming Effects) for VR World

Hello everyone,

For a new project I looking to create a simple VR experience that simulates the effects of global warming on Earth. The idea is to show environmental changes over time (planet seen from space) and give users the ability to adjust key parameters like global temperature, CO2 levels, and sea level rise using simple inputs (dials or key presses). I’ve checked the marketplace, but I couldn’t find anything that fits this concept. While I’m new to this, I’m eager to learn and more than willing to pay for any tools or assets that can help make this project successful.

Here’s what I’d like to achieve:

  1. Dynamic environment changes: As users adjust parameters like temperature or CO2 levels, the environment changes visually (e.g., melting ice, rising sea levels, shifting vegetation).
  2. Time-lapse and real-time transitions: I want users to see changes happening over years or decades based on their input, showing the long-term effects of global warming.
  3. Multiple biomes and ecosystems: The simulation would include polar regions, forests, urban landscapes, and oceans, all reacting differently to the same global changes.
  4. Interactive user inputs: Simple sliders or dials to control parameters and toggle between different environmental scenarios.
  5. Visual feedback: Provide visual changes and/or data-driven feedback (e.g., temperature rise, CO2 levels) in real-time.

What I’m looking for:

  • something reminescent to nvidia earth 2 digital twin
  • Are there any existing plugins, assets, or tools I should consider that could speed up development? I’m especially interested in planetary simulation or planetary atmospheric simulation tools. I’ve browsed the market place but apart from this one in unity ( Ultimate Earth Planet System | 3D Sci-Fi | Unity Asset Store) i could find something for unreal:
  • If anyone has developed something similar, I’d love to hear about your approach or any challenges you faced. Or if your willing to sell the asset/template

Since I’m just starting, I haven’t bought anything yet but am willing to invest in tools or assets that will make this process easier and more effective. Any advice, suggestions, or asset recommendations would be greatly appreciated!

Thanks in advance!
