On the 18th of November, the Dutch Rabobank in Leeuwarden organised an innovation event for its clients in de Harmonie. The evening kicked off with futurologist and keynote speaker Mike van Rijswijk and robot Pepper. Talking about the latest technologies, he showed visitors what the future has in store for us. There were other inspiring presentations as well, about mind control, 3D printed food, a stress game and safe clean water. And there was one more big surprise in store for visitors. The Rabobank had installed a huge warm water tank, in which visitors could swim with wild dolphins in Virtual Reality. Over 60 people and press enjoyed this new, magical experience. It was a night to remember!
The real world and fantasy merged smoothly on a Monday evening in November, at the Leeuwarder Harmonie in the Netherlands. The Dutch bank Rabobank gave its members the opportunity to swim with the virtual dolphins of the Dolphin Swim Club.
Swimming with dolphins: for some, an exotic getaway on vacation, for others an almost indispensable part of therapy. Of course, this is not accessible for everyone, but change is on its way. Marijke Sjollema leads a project in which swimming with dolphins can actually be experienced anywhere, without the use of captive dolphins.
