Dr Umran Ali’s fully immersive virtual rainforest is modelled on the real Amazon rainforest. It is complete with a gentle breeze blowing through the tree’s and ferns. Gnats and insects inhabit the forest floor and the whole forest is visualised moving through a day and night cycle. The flora and fauna you see are actual species of plants and animals in the real Amazon, ranging from Bromeliads and Heliconia to species of tropical fungi. His virtual rainforest has been built using Crytek’s advanced games engine, Cryengine. It is a prototype for further development and research into the delivery of immersive environmental education.
