Climate risks are often invisible in daily life: too abstract for action, too complex for traditional media. This session showcases how XR, digital twins, and immersive storytelling can transform risk perception from data to visceral shared experience. Panelists will share examples from wildfire-prone communities and coastal resilience projects, unpacking immersive media's unique power to overcome misinformation, bridge silos, and build trust. The session includes an interactive XR experience powered by inCitu AR.
