Animals in Virtual Environments (IEEE VR2020)

Описание: This talk is prepared for the IEEE VR2020 conference.

Session 23, Evaluation.

The talk is for the paper: https://ieeexplore.ieee.org/document/...
In this paper, we introduce two different communities, Human VR and Animal VR who work on the same kind of research questions. We show how Biologists have used concepts from Human VR and applied them to study animals and their behavior. We urge these communities to work together to come up with new ideas and concepts for studying more animals.

Working with animals is important to study evolution and ecology, but it is also important to study why animals behave the way they do and how? Humans can learn a lot from these animals and reverse engineer some of their behavior mechanisms to build new technologies.



This paper is written for computer scientists and technology experts in VR. The paper also briefly touches upon interesting questions like why we study animals? What are the methods of studying them? How did biologists come up with idea of using VR for studying animals behavior? etc.
