Pomafly, an Orchard for Fruit-Fly Signals
An interactive observatory where users steer a simulated fruit-fly swarm with scents, wind, gestures, and sampled crypto-market trades.
Field notes
Pomafly exposes a compact neural-inspired model rather than claiming to reproduce a real fly nervous system: each fly has 96 model nodes, 480 directed connections, and a stated 60 Hz calculation rate. Visitors can place fruit or stones, tune scent and wind, and record the resulting routes. Optional market input samples up to 12 recent trades every eight seconds from an external OKX spot market, translating buy and sell activity into sweet and bitter stimuli.
