Become the Ultimate FlyCatcher: A Citizen Science VR Game

Step into the virtual shoes of a hungry predator in FlyCatcher, a unique and engaging VR game developed by researchers at the University of Lincoln. This isn't just entertainment; it's a chance to contribute to real scientific research on predator-prey interactions! Put your predatory skills to the test using intuitive VR controls and head tracking as you try to snag as many flies as possible with your retractable tongue.

Hone Your Predatory Instincts in Immersive VR

Immerse yourself in the hunt! Using your VR headset to track the movements of your target, and a VR controller to unleash your sticky tongue, you'll face waves of flies exhibiting different group behaviors. Do you have what it takes to achieve a high score in this fast-paced VR action game? FlyCatcher challenges your reflexes and strategic thinking as you learn to anticipate the erratic flight patterns of your prey.

Contribute to Cutting-Edge Research on Animal Behavior

FlyCatcher is more than just a game; it's a 'citizen science' initiative. Your performance data (anonymized, of course!) directly contributes to our understanding of protean movement, those unpredictable, evasive maneuvers that help prey escape predators. We're studying how these behaviors, especially in groups, impact a predator's hunting success. By playing, you're helping scientists unlock the secrets of survival in the animal kingdom. Use our profile system to track your progress and contribute to our ever expanding dataset.
