Future plans of the Foundation include supporting transportation of the Ark to world ports of call to serve as an interactive, informative cultural museum and event center. "Our next steps are to create VR simulations of what it is like inside Johan's Ark when it is populated with animals and sailing in the storm. We are already designing interactive games and integrating live streaming within the Ark when it sets sail" declares Mr. Teo.
