[Paper] Design of an Aerial Display to Induce Predatory Behavior in Praying Mantises

抄録

We report a pilot study using an aerial display based on Aerial Imaging by Retro-Reflection (AIRR) to deliver barrier-free, life-sized visual stimuli to terrestrial animals. Predatory strike responses were observed in a Ghost mantis toward aerial images of crickets presented by the AIRR system. Although the number of observed responses was limited, these observations demonstrate the feasibility of using AIRR to present biologically relevant visual stimuli to terrestrial predators and highlight its potential as a platform for VR biology research.
