Discovering nature through augmented reality

Title: Discovering nature through augmented reality
Description: The Dublin Bay Biosphere actively uses smart technology to promote sustainability. Sensing Ecologies is an augmented reality app developed by the Biosphere and artist Fiona McDonald as part of a public art project. The app senses where the user is and builds wildlife soundscapes around them. Voiceovers and interviews are also included which educate the user on both wildlife and the effects of climate change. This year they will install solar powered signage, water bathing monitoring sensors, and they will also use drones in collaboration with GIS systems to map and survey wildlife ecosystems.
