"Butterfly World 1.0 is an adventure game designed to engage its users
in simulated exploration and education. Set in the subtropical dry
forest of the Florida Keys (an archipelago situated off the southern
coast of Florida, USA), Butterfly World draws the players into an
immersive virtual environment where they learn about relationships
between butterflies, plants, and invasive species. While exploring the
set, they interact with and learn about the federally endangered Schaus'
swallowtail butterfly, the invasive graceful twig ant, native and exotic
plants, and several other butterflies inhabiting the dry forest
ecosystem. Other nature-related VR experiences, including conservation
awareness and educational programs, rely on passive observations with
minimal direct interactions between participants and the virtual
environment."
