About this game

Due to the extraordinarily small scale of the soil microbial habitat, it is a profound challenge for humans to accurately conceptualize the physical environment that soil microbes inhabit. With the goal of bringing the micro-scale experience of a soil microbe to life, Soil:Micro is an educational three-dimensional virtual reality (VR) soil environment experience. Shrink to the scale of a particle and navigate through an actual 3D scan of a soil particle.
