English	This is an immersive interactive exhibition that combines artificial intelligence with environmental education, aiming to engage children and families in exploring the importance of ocean conservation and sustainability through play. In a shared immersive space, children and parents can move physical blocks together, generating virtual ocean assets and debris in real-time, visually demonstrating how small actions can impact ecosystems. Combines hands-on activities, dynamic storytelling, and community engagement to foster empathy and environmental responsibility, offering children and communities an engaging and meaningful educational journey.
Native	在研究了有关海洋污染破坏性影响的文章后，我们深刻认识到尽早培养环保意识的重要性。研究表明，具有游戏化特点的沉浸式教育设计可以有效提升参与者的积极性和理解能力。而有形界面（如积木）通过动手互动激发好奇心，是一种理想的产品形式，便于协作与合作。投影技术进一步展示了沉浸式技术如何成功连接物理世界与虚拟世界。基于这种理念，我们设计了这款结合人工智能与环境教育的沉浸式互动体验，旨在通过游戏的方式让儿童与家庭共同探索海洋保护与可持续发展的重要性。在共享的沉浸式空间中，孩子与家长可以一起移动物理积木，实时生成虚拟的海洋元素，如珊瑚、鱼类和垃圾，从直观的角度展现小行为如何影响生态系统。体验以“由简入繁”为理念，鼓励亲子合作和社区互动。参与者可以观察到生态系统的变化：垃圾会导致珊瑚退化，而健康的珊瑚则会吸引鱼类繁殖。人工智能根据每次互动生成个性化故事，帮助家庭成员更直观地理解其行为对环境的影响，并共同反思生态保护的重要意义。 Blockiverse通过结合动手实践、动态叙事与社区参与，激发参与者的同理心与环境责任感，为儿童和家庭提供了一段既有趣又深刻的教育旅程，唤起人们对生态保护的重视与行动力。
