Boids Building autonomous agents to simulate group motion and obstacle avoidance such as activities of bird flocks and schools of fish. Excalibur This project develops a generic architecture for a group of agents to pursue their given goals, adapt their behavior to new environments, and communicate and perform coordinated group actions. Artificial Life Interactive Video Environment (MIT) The Artificial Life Interactive Video Environment (ALIVE) is virtual reality system where people can interact with virtual creatures without being constrained by headsets, goggles, or special sensing equipment.

Autonomous, animated characters join the user's own image in the reflected world.
