What is the Overview Effect?

"You develop an instant global consciousness, a people orientation, an intense dissatisfaction with the state of the world, and a compulsion to do something about it. 


From out there on the moon, politics look so petty. You want to grab a politician by the scruff of the neck and drag him a quarter of a million miles out and say, 'Look at that, you son of a b----.’"


- Edgar Mitchell, Apollo 14 astronaut

About Marble Blue

Perspective powers change

Lasting transformation begins not with information, but with a shift in perspective. Before behaviour or systems can change, people need to see differently. 

The Overview Effect

Inspired by the profound shift astronauts experience when viewing Earth from space, we bring the Overview Effect down to Earth, making it accessible, emotional, and actionable.

Immersive VR built for emotional impact

Our custom-built VR simulation places users in the orbital position of reflection, combining awe, emotion and urgency in a way that static media or workshops alone can’t replicate.

Workshops that move people to act

We don’t end with the VR experience. Every Marble Blue experience is paired with facilitated workshops tailored to your group, helping participants reflect, reconnect, and reimagine their role in shaping a better future.

Everything we stress about, all the drama, it just felt like noise. What felt big, just wasn’t.
