Laval Virtual

The Dolphin Swim Club was invited to take part in the 20th Laval Virtual, one of the most important events in the world about virtual technologies and uses. 5 Days of great fun! The whole team assisted about 1400 visitors to swim with the wild virtual dolphins. About 600 in the water, with our Wild Dolphin Underwater VR. Again our dolphin friends managed to enchant many people of all ages.  And as a dolphin joke, to finally have people swimming in tanks to meet them, while they themselves stay in their own home, the free oceans of the world.

TF1- The evening news in France- On Jan.31st, 6.7 million viewers watched the report on the Dolphin Swim Club. We spend two lovely days filming with the crew of TF1. During the second day, we filmed the therapeutic use of the waterproof VR in the pool. We noticed that the cameraman, a very experienced underwater filmer, had a dolphin tattoo on his back. Now we knew for sure that the dolphins were in very good hands indeed! Thanks for the wonderful report Sylvain & Patrique.  Credits report;  S.Millanvoye, P.Marcellin, E.Duboscq. (language: French)

Most of our time passed in the pool in Apeldoorn, where Dion tested our new ‘Wild Dolphin Waterproof VR’. We were all touched by his reaction, and joyful personality.
