Portal Reef is a multimodal interactive immersive environment project built during a MIT XR Hackathon to raise awareness of coral destruction using Hololens & Neuos EEG based interface SDK.

When an user approaches a coral and touches it, the coral turns grey and dies showing how tourism causes coral bleaching. Neuos headband was used to measure enjoyment when touching corals.
