Inside the 'swat team' -- how insects react to virtual reality gaming
Briefly

The innovative software enables researchers to observe how invertebrates interact with virtual environments, providing insights into their navigation and behavioral responses through advanced visual scenarios.
"Using machine learning and computer vision algorithms, we were able to observe the animals and work out what they are doing, whether that is a hoverfly attempting to turn to the left in its flight, or a fiddler crab avoiding a virtual bird flying overhead."
This study represents a significant leap in understanding animal behavior, showcasing how advanced technology can be applied to ecological research and enhancing our grasp of invertebrate dynamics in their environments.
