The paper develops a 3D model of social coordination in fish using real behavior data and validates it through a closed-loop virtual reality system.

This study shows that swimming speed affects social interaction strength in fish by altering attraction, alignment, and repulsion behaviors in a virtual reality setup.

The paper uses a closed-loop virtual-reality system to study how schooling fish integrate social information, finding that fish primarily respond to the most influential neighbor.

Real rummy-nose tetras follow a projected, anamorphically rendered virtual conspecific in a low-cost open-source 3D-tracked VR bowl, largely matching its speed and depth; a moving sphere elicits weak following.

This paper introduces a fish school model with burst-and-coast swimming that replicates collective phases like schooling and swarming, but cohesion diminishes over time except in swarming.
