Explore the fascinating world of butterflies through our Virtual Butterfly Exhibition, a modern initiative dedicated to raising awareness about the incredible species native to Cyprus and Greece. Our mission is to preserve these delicate creatures while inspiring naturalists and younger generations with cutting-edge educational tools.

Dive into detailed information on species taxonomy, host plants, phenology, and conservation status, all while marveling at lifelike 3D models of butterfly specimens. Each model is meticulously crafted from dry-pinned specimens stored in entomological boxes, ensuring every detail is captured with precision.

Cyprus 3D reptiles aims to develop accurate animated 3D models of Cyprus reptiles through digitalization of our natural heritage. The project targets to preserves not only tangible aspect of the Reptilia on the island, like shape, colour, dimensions, postures, but also the intangible aspects of this heritage through recording animals movements, gestures and signals. The outcomes are expected to support research and conservation of wild fauna, providing at the same time state-of-art educational materials and tools to be used in classrooms and museums.

This video clip (Become the Fool, by Parker) shows a fascinating artistic performance using data from our dance motion capture datbase.

We have developed a publicly accessible crowd dataset, that consist of crowd data in video & .vsp files (Lerner et al. 2010), and .csv files (Charalambous et al. 2015).

For more details, please refer to the Lerner et al. 2010 paper, or visit the Charalambous et al. 2015 project website.
