Abstract :
Conceptual Farm is a virtual reality platform for generating and observing the behaviors of different autonomous characters. By providing (1) descriptions for characters´ behaviors and (2) 3D animations and sound, life-like characters in a realistic habitat can be created, modified, and interact with both users and other characters in real time. The flexible, manageable and scalable nature of Conceptual Farm leads to its desirability in zoological research, general education, game and film production, and even decorative arts.
