To reach that goal, the simulation makes use of current virtual reality devices (specifically the Oculus Rift DK2) to increase the level of immersion for the user. The focus of our research lies on the design and simulation of the foraging strategies of two antagonistic ant species, as well as the creation of an accessible experimentation environment. In particular, an invasive species based on the Argentine Ant (Lipethima Humile) is introduced into an ecosystem already populated by a native species modelled along the Black Garden Ant (Lasius Niger). The user can then use virtual tools inspired by real-life means to control the spreading of ants and help the native species to survive despite being inferior to the invasive ant. Options include manipulating pheromones used by the ants for navigation and, thereby, influencing the mechanism of mutual identification, or placing obstacles that block the ants' path. Also, many key parameters that control the ants can be modified during runtime. An integrated logging mechanism allows to collect data which can be processed by standard tools. The simulation also offers a dynamic, nature-inspired interactive example of the Ant Colony Optimization principle and can help to make natural processes more accessible.","PeriodicalId":170372,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Virtual Reality Workshop on K-12 Embodied Learning through Virtual & Augmented Reality (KELVAR)","volume":"261 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-19","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"130787825","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

The application was conceived using a well-structured methodology named Create Innovation Pack that is based on the design thinking theory. This method aims at helping to exploit the potential of a technology to deliver value to the user of a field, which in this case is children education. It applies the use of interdisciplinary teams with complementary skills, in which the technology developers are key members. The goal is to conceive solutions that are both innovative and with high impact potential. Thus, the application presented in this work was generated by teachers, educational researchers, a designer, AR researchers and an entrepreneur whose solutions proposed aimed to meet three criteria: desirability, viability and feasibility. The application conceived, the Voxar Puzzle Motion, therefore, combines knowledge from different areas: education, design, computer science and entrepreneurship. It is aimed at children aged 3 to 8 years old and intends to foster their motor skills as well as their logic-mathematical and logic reasoning cognitive abilities.","PeriodicalId":170372,"journal":{"name":"2016 IEEE Virtual Reality Workshop on K-12 Embodied Learning through Virtual & Augmented Reality (KELVAR)","volume":"39 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2016-03-01","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"133624582","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
