Abstract:
This paper presents a hybrid plants-driven mixed reality (MR) system, Eye of Flora, which re-engages humans with nature from a more-than-human perspective. Eye of Flora integrates plants into digital twin systems by merging plant electrophysiology with 3D reconstruction technologies. Utilizing AI to analyze their biosignals, digital plant agents can now participate in digital environments and share their unseen biological responses to various environmental factors through aesthetic particle systems. This approach challenges anthropocentric digital ecosystems by incorporating ecological awareness through a multispecies perspective, promoting a holistic view of human-nature relationships and fostering symbiotic coexistence in the digital age.
