Butterfly World 1.0 is an interactive virtual reality game depicting a subtropical dry forest in the Florida Keys (USA). Participants explore their surroundings and identify butterflies, plants, and exotic (some invasive) species. Their mission is to capture photos of six butterfly species including the federally endangered Schaus’ swallowtail butterfly (Heraclides aristodemus ponceanus) and remove as many invasive species as possible.
