MAMMOTH XR

MAMMOTH XR worked with a company providing corporate communications for oil and gas companies in Canada, facing challenges of remote and restricted access to oil sands. The goal was to use VR to extend the experience of the environmental challenges and innovations in the industry to ordinary citizens, media, and government sectors. MAMMOTH XR combined animation with the VR experience to explain the process in a downloadable product best viewed on an Oculus headset. The project was praised for its impressive VR capabilities and spanned from March 2017 to March 2020.

In another project, MAMMOTH XR developed experiential occupation demos for Energy Safety Canada to create engaging tools that would help youth and indigenous populations understand careers in the oil and gas sector. MAMMOTH XR focused on 10 careers in the oil and gas services subsector and developed extended reality games that users could explore to receive career recommendations. The games are available in virtual reality on the Oculus Go and in augmented reality in the Apple and Android store. The project lasted from May 2019 to February 2020 and was appreciated for its creativity and effectiveness.

MAMMOTH XR collaborated with Urban Society for Aboriginal Youth (USAY), an Indigenous charity that works to preserve Indigenous languages. MAMMOTH XR developed a VR tool named "Thunder VR" to serve as a preservation and multi-generational transmission of the endangered Blackfoot language. The VR tool adapted an original Indigenous story into a game, including puzzles created with the support of an Indigenous elder. The project lasted from July 2018 to March 2019 and was applauded for its innovative approach to language preservation.
