Abstract: | This study aims to create a mobile application for public interaction around the subject of wolf spiders, specifically the brush-legged wolf spider. The hope is that the public will have a reduced level of fear towards arachnids when given a chance to view arachnids in a digital setting. To assist this, the application employs augmented reality animation, which has been shown to have a positive impact on the viewer’s interest and learning. With the opportunity to view a digital spider interacting with surfaces in a repeatable and informative manner, viewers may find that their fears are more understood and can be controlled for both their benefit and that of the local arachnids. In order to accommodate multiple audiences, the application was set up to have a more cartoonish and simpler text as well as a realistic and advanced text. The area of information covered the brush-legged wolf spider’s anatomy, mating behaviour, and general safety practices for handling and avoiding wolf spiders. The modelling and animation were created using Zbrush and Blender, respectively. The programming and application creations used were Unity with Android and AR plugins. | ||||||
