Being a Giraffe integrates advanced VR technology with a physical controller designed to simulate the experience of being a giraffe. The system creates a realistic African savannah environment where users, equipped with VR headsets and a giraffe-like controller, navigate through life-like challenges. These challenges include foraging and interacting with the ecosystem, all designed to provide an immersive, multi-sensory educational experience.
