A whole-process simulation experiment system has: a visualized model system with test samples and serving as a bearing device for the simulation of whole-process seepage of filling-type karst; a controllable support system supporting a visualized model box and controlling fluid seepage direction in the box by changing its inclination angle; a servo loading system controlling water pressure in the test process and providing four different loading modes for the box; a high-speed camera system recording water flow and particle motion in a transparent seepage model box in the seepage failure process; a comprehensive data measuring system monitoring and recording the change rules of factors including but not limited to seepage pressure, seepage amount and sand gushing amount in the seepage failure process; and an information analysis and feedback system recording and analyzing the seepage process and the whole seepage failure process in real time to achieve data processing and feedback.

An artificial cave has various features that resemble speleothems (e.g., stalactites, stalagmites, etc.) found in real subterranean caves. Human users may pass through the artificial cave, with each user wearing a wearable transceiver that broadcasts a signal code unique to that user. Fixed transceivers throughout the cave can detect and identify any user who is sufficiently close to that fixed transceiver. Other components of the system collect user identification information from the fixed transceivers for any of several possible purposes (e.g., identifying which user was probably responsible for inappropriate interaction with a speleothem that is adjacent to a given fixed transceiver, where all of the various user of the cave are currently located in the cave, etc.). A count of users currently in the artificial cave passageway may be maintained and used for a number of purposes. Similarly, human detectors may be employed near the system and/or in the artificial cave passage for any of several different purposes.

This patent regards the design of compact (unitary structures, implantable by themselves, residing non-deployed in small kits, able to be deployed by a single individual, and able to create identifiable meaningful sign by themselves) arrangements of live plants, plant-alike or plant-replacement materials, seedling or seeds by organized pattern seeding of plants or seeds or planting of seedlings of flowers and plants in the soil, or arrangements of plant-replacement or plant-alike material to render small scale plant pattern-designed arrangements in small areas around houses or businesses. To reach this purpose, plants, seeds or seedlings, plant-alike or plant-replacement materials will be planted, raised, arranged and/or cut in a single or multilayer fashioned compact object of good visual resolution translating into a meaningful message of pictorial, geometrical, linguistic, or various other meaningful nature.

A system and method are disclosed for generating holographic plant life, which can grow over time, so that a user can see them mature, either in real time or in an accelerated timeframe. The environmental impact of the growth of plants may also be virtually depicted, such as for example displaying holographic birds, insects or other wildlife that may inhabit plants as they grow. The present technology brings users closer to nature and inspires them to plant real trees and other foliage.

In one implementation, a method of displaying content is performed at a device including a display, one or more processors, and non-transitory memory. The method includes scanning a first physical environment to detect a first physical object in the first physical environment and a second physical object in the first physical environment, wherein the first physical object meets at least one first object criterion and the second physical object meets at least one second object criterion. The method includes displaying, in association with the first physical environment, a virtual object moving along a first path from the first physical object to the second physical object. The method includes scanning a second physical environment to detect a third physical object in the second physical environment and a fourth physical object in the second physical environment, wherein the third physical object meets the at least one first object criterion and the fourth physical object meets the at least one second object criterion. The method includes displaying, in association with the second physical environment, the virtual object moving along a second path from the third physical object to the fourth physical object, wherein the second path is different than the first path.
