Set in a future shaped by climate catastrophe and urban collapse, Urban Tragedy 2050 is a cinematic VR experience that takes participants on a journey through a flooded Rotterdam in the year 2050. 
Created by vm-people and the VRium Creative Team for PwC Germany as part of an employer branding initiative, this PCVR experience combines storytelling, world-building, and education to explore the human and societal costs of inaction. 
The session provides an immersive reflection on resilience, responsibility, and the transformative power of immersive learning embedded in a Kubrick-style time travel scenario. 

This world can only be accessed via PC VR. Standalone headsets will not be able to join the world.
