Contemporary environmental education for the new exhibition at the Silvanum Forestry Museum – visitors learn exciting facts about the forest as an ecosystem via augmented reality and touchscreens.
History and future of the forest are the focus of the new “Wald:Welten” exhibition at the Silvanum Forestry Museum.
On behalf of the Styrian Eisenwurzen Nature and Geopark, we provided the concept and implementation for five interactive touchscreen stations. We also developed an AR app with additional interactive stations for smartphones and rental devices.
Didactic AR elements
The interactive AR experiences enhance the exhibition with impressive digital elements that deepen knowledge in a didactic way and invite visitors to participate.
Visitors can virtually cut down a tree themselves and experience the timber industry from a subjective perspective. Elsewhere, an AR layer overlays a miniature model of the region and provides in-depth information.
The AR stations are superbly implemented – well thought-out in terms of content, convincingly designed, and realized with great attention to detail. The fluxguide team has created an extraordinary experience that enriches our exhibition in a special way.

Touchscreens for digital mediation
At several stations throughout the exhibition, visitors can use touchscreens to access in-depth information about the forest habitat. They can learn about the Steirische Eisenwurzen region and climate change, or experience how bark beetles are threatening our forests.
Environmental education with a difference
Want to teach about ecological relationships in an exciting and contemporary way?
Why not with the help of a forest dweller on TikTok? At a touchscreen station, bark beetle “Ipsi” provides entertaining background information about the forest ecosystem. Animated by hand with great attention to detail, “Ipsi” is sure to delight not only young visitors.
