Sea Level Rise Explorer
Description
As coastal communities contend with sea level rise, coastal erosion, and other impacts of climate change, public education has become a critical piece of the puzzle. […] In our Sea Level Rise Explorer, users interact with 3D models and can raise sea levels to observe potential flooding in real time. Adaptation scenarios can also be displayed.
What Works Well
This is a great example of mixing 360° video with interactive VR content.

Level of Interactivity
What does this mean?
The Level of Interactivity indicates how many interactive features an experience has.
For instance, a Level 1 would be a more passive experience where you will be able to look around freely, but you will not be triggering or interacting with things in the environment. A Level 2 will provide some level of interactivity but only very basically, such as being able to move between different scenes in the experience. A Level 3 will start to incorporate some more complex interactions using a remote or controller to trigger things within the scenes. A Level 4 would be a fully interactive experience but something you are still guided through. Finally, a Level 5 would be a fully interactive experience that gives you complete control of how to use it.
