Beta Testers, Ready to Be the Monarch Butterfly?
Be The Butterfly…Beta Tester! Connect with wildlife like never before by transforming into a monarch butterfly in this gamified nature simulation.
Is MonarchVR a game? An app? A nature simulation? Really, all the above. We like to think about it as an experience first and foremost—a chance to gain more understanding of nature and the monarch. To keep moving forward, players will feed on multiple types of flowers to gain sustenance but will also deal with mortal enemies like the web-spinning garden spider.
Things To Know: MonarchVR
- You will need a VR headset needed to play MonarchVR.
- We work with some of the world’s most well-known animal researchers.
- Our custom flight model was designed to mimic the unique flight mechanics of the monarch butterfly.
- Butterflies see the world with tetrachromatic vision: red, blue, green and ultraviolet. With our simulated butterfly vision, you can too!
- Use your antennae to differentiate flowers as nectar sources for sustenance. Feeding yourself as a monarch butterfly takes skill and perseverance.
