Shark Attack 360

How National Geographic is harnessing new technology to bring sharks up close

Were bringing a scientific view of sharks to the world. Theyre not villains – theyre just misunderstood.” Executive Producer Drew Jones was discussing National Geographics innovative series Shark Attack 360 at an RTS London online event in July.

The show uses 3D creation tool Unreal Engine to bring the presenter – marine biologist Dr Diva Amon – up close to virtual sharks so she can explain their behaviour and predatory characteristics.
