Abstract
This study aims to propose a new educational tool for interacting with artificial life (ALife). The proposed system consists of an ALife behavior simulation and a tactile aerial display with a combination of aerial imaging by retro-reflection and a force-feedback device. The content is mid-air interaction with a simulated school of fish-like ALife. The behavior is based on a modified BOIDs algorithm with a predator-prey relationship between different species. A user can enjoy interaction with the fish through aerial imaging and haptic feeling. The user can feel the activity of ALife as a force field using haptics.
