Abstract

We describe The garden of virtual delights, an interactive installation developed for the botanical garden of Coimbra, with the goal of attracting visitors and promoting the visibility of the garden. The installation builds and simulates an artificial ecosystem, where visitors become part of this ecosystem, interacting effortlessly and seamlessly with the artificial organisms. The name of the installation is a reference to Hieronymus Bosch's masterwork "The Garden of Earthly Delights", where a swarm of birds can be seen in the upper left corner.
