Abstract: The reconstruction of prehistoric creatures plays an important role in scientific research, public education, and cultural entertainment. However, traditional reconstruction methods often involve long production cycles, high costs, and limited flexibility for model modifications. This study proposes a virtual reconstruction model for prehistoric creatures by integrating 3D modeling and Virtual Reality (VR) technology. Based on this, the study further develops an interactive reconstruction model using separable convolution and bidirectional long short-term memory networks. Experimental results show that the proposed virtual reconstruction model achieves a reconstruction accuracy of over 94% on two datasets when the number of iterations reaches 35. Additionally, when the reconstruction time is set to 10 seconds, the structural similarity index exceeds 0.94. Furthermore, the model achieves a gesture recognition accuracy above 0.93 for five different gestures, significantly outperforming the baseline models. And the model also achieved a maximum interaction rate of 70.62% and a highest re-experience rate of 72.85%. These results demonstrate that the proposed virtual reconstruction and interaction model enables accurate reconstruction of prehistoric creatures and ensures the precise execution of commands within the virtual reality system. It also enhances the immersive experience and promotes the development of public education on prehistoric life.
