Life Chronicles is a breathtaking VR journey through 3.5 billion years of evolution

“Well-researched and scientifically accurate, this immersive experience will introduce you to over 160 plant and animal species from worlds past.”

In just 43 minutes, Life Chronicles takes audiences on a breathtaking VR journey through time, following Charlie and her robot Darwin as they explore nine extinct ecosystems filled with extraordinary lifeforms spanning 3.5 billion years of evolution. From the microbial world of the Archean era to the towering forests of the Carboniferous and the mighty dinosaurs of the Cretaceous, each paleo-landscape is rooted in real fossil sites across the globe. Well-researched and scientifically accurate, this immersive experience — a collaboration between Montreal’s Studio PHI, Excurio (the team behind The Horizon of Khufu) and France’s national natural history museum — will introduce you to over 160 plant and animal species from worlds past.

Life Chronicles (Mondes disparus) is on at 2 de la Commune W. from Feb. 19 to April 27
