Virtual Dairy Farm: An Interactive Experience for Public Education

Despite growing public interest in the origins and production methods of dairy products, driven by concerns about environmental impact, local sourcing, and ethics, a knowledge-trust gap persists between consumers and the dairy industry. To tackle this, our demo presents an immersive virtual farm simulation designed to provide realistic on-farm experiences to the public. Users can visit the virtual farm, explore various sites where dairy cows are raised, and learn about dairy production processes through this virtual experience. The simulation demonstrates significant potential as an effective tool for agricultural education.

Abstract

Despite growing public interest in the origins and production methods of dairy products, driven by concerns about environmental impact, local sourcing, and ethics, a knowledge-trust gap persists between consumers and the dairy industry. To tackle this, our demo presents an immersive virtual farm simulation designed to provide realistic on-farm experiences to the public. Users can visit the virtual farm, explore various sites where dairy cows are raised, and learn about dairy production processes through this virtual experience. The simulation demonstrates significant potential as an effective tool for agricultural education.
