MWITA-SBCO-2026-008 · Evidence A · P1
A conservation film increased several pro-conservation responses, but immersive VR showed no broad incremental advantage over 2D in a Brazilian mall field experiment.
What this does not establish
Do not infer that VR generally improves persuasion, donations, conservation behavior or campaign ROI.
Counterevidence & uncertainty
The costly immersive format did not outperform ordinary 2D on the primary immediate behaviors; the later difference was channel-specific.
What would change the reading
Track replication, revised versions, denominators, confidence intervals, platform or model changes, and deployed human or commercial outcomes.
