XR for Empathy, Environmental Stewardship & Global Kindness

Dr. John Francis, renowned as the "Planet Walker," and John Anderson, "Professor XR”.are joining forces to pioneer XR environments aimed at fostering kindness and supporting the GLOBE Program (Globe.gov) for children internationally. Dr. Francis, is currently on his monumental journey from South Africa to Cairo, spanning several years that embodies the ethos of "how we treat one another is how we treat the environment." Leveraging XR technology, both Dr. Francis and Professor Anderson aim to immerse children in interactive environments that cultivate empathy, environmental stewardship, and global kindness. Through this collaboration, they seek to empower the next generation with the understanding that acts of kindness towards each other and their environment can ripple outward to positively impact our planet. By intertwining Dr. Francis's profound insights with Professor Anderson's XR expertise, they envision a transformative educational platform that not only educates but also inspires compassionate action for a more harmonious world, one step at a time.
