VANAHEIM: Gamified Learning Environment

PRADEEPKUMAR M, RAGHUL P K, RAHUL A N

Abstract


VANAHEIM is an innovative 3D gamified platform designed to promote environmental            science (EVS) education through immersive learning and real-world participation. The      project bridges virtual sustainability education with physical eco-activities by combining   interactive 3D simulations and a machine learning (ML) model that tracks user-           submitted evidence of environmental efforts such as planting trees, recycling, and waste       cleanup. This integration ensures that virtual progress mirrors authentic environmental            action, encouraging behavioral change. VANAHEIM aims to cultivate ecological   responsibility and awareness among students and the general public through gameplay,    challenges, and tangible rewards for sustainability contributions.
