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. Five days of great fun! The whole team assisted about 1,400 visitors to swim with the wild virtual dolphins. And about 600 visitors dared to go in the water and experience 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.

ACM SIGGRAPH Award

In this week we got honored with the ACM SIGGRAPH Award as well. Above a report by the French M6 TV Channel. Below, you will find more enthusiastic stories by TV channels, newspapers, YouTubers and blogs.

After all of us spent a happy, splashy evening in the pool with the swimmers and volunteers of Zwemclub Plons, the team of ZoominTV made this wonderful report: ‘The medical benefits of virtual animals’.

TF1- The evening news in France

On January 31st 2017, 6.7 million viewers watched the report on the Dolphin Swim Club. We spent 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 camera man, 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! A special thanks to Sylvain and Patrique for the wonderful report.
