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.
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.
Detailed Animation
Want to teach about ecological relationships in an exciting and contemporary way? Why not with the help of a forest dweller on TikTok? At one of the touchscreen stations, 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.
