As part of the free experience, visitors will get the chance to use Meta Quest 2 virtual reality headsets to view a special cut of the film and interact with the film’s flying creatures using augmented reality.

“With this activation, we wanted to use immersive technologies to bring to life the magic of Conquest Of The Skies,” said Charlotte Fletcher, activation creative assistant at Alchemy Immersive, which is launching the experience in partnership with Meta.

“Through the power of VR and AR, people will be able to meet and interact with flying creatures, such as a quetzalcoatlus, in the middle of Westfield! With the set design, we have worked to immerse members of the public so that we are enhancing these learnings from David Attenborough, who reminds us of the possibilities for connection and transformation for people, systems and planet.”

Things to do in London: a free virtual reality experience narrated by David Attenborough is coming later this month
