Using VR to Model and Control Realistic Octopus Experience
The student team worked to create a virtual reality experience to help increase the user's empathy for octopuses. With guidance from experts, the team created an octopus model and implemented AI that accurately replicates the behavior pattern of real octopuses. The work culminates into a sandbox VR experience that highlights functionality of the model and allows the user to experience the environment from the perspective of an octopus.
