Abstract: Experiencing the world based on virtual reality technology is increasingly valued. The aim of this study is to develop an Antarctic experience system that integrates multiple key technologies using the Unreal Engine platform, in order to promote a deeper understanding and recognition of the natural environment in Antarctica. This system integrates advanced technologies such as Antarctic scene reconstruction, physics-based aurora simulation, penguin behavior logic programming, realistic day and night alternation simulation, interactive operation design of snowmobiles, and automatic generation of complex terrain. Through high-precision modeling and rendering techniques, this system accurately reproduces the natural environment of Antarctica and provides users with an immersive exploration experience by simulating natural phenomena such as auroras, penguin behavior, and day-night alternation. In addition, the interactive design and diverse terrain generation of snowmobiles further enhance the interactivity and exploration of the system. This study will also provide powerful tools for polar scientific research and education, and also offer some ideas for the application of virtual reality technology in natural environment simulation and experiences.
