BlueGreen Labs also has extensive experience in running outreach projects, engaging with thousands of citizens. The Virtual Forest project (https://virtualforest.bluegreenlabs.org) provides an interactive VR experience of the state and development of a forest (relying on 360 degree camera footage and VR web interfaces). The original project drew more than 80K monthly visits and was featured by among others VICE magazine, the Harvard Gazette and Hack-a-Day magazine.
