AR Biodiversity vs DigiLifeScience AR

Discover sound and stories of native Dutch flora and fauna in augmented reality By scanning signs of plants located around Broedplaats de Campagne, Suikerlaan 43, Groningen (NL), other locations and various festivals in Europe, you can activate native plants and they tell their stories to you. Listen to the symphony of biodiversity. Learn about the importance of biodiversity. Using augmented reality technology you can experience nature like never before! Tip: tap spheres to reveal more stories about insects and more. Want to try the app at home?

The DigiLifeScience app provides Augmented Reality learning experiences on topics in the Life Sciences to support interactive and motivating learning for students at Life Science universities across Europe. Since the AR experiences are freely available, they can be used by all interested individuals, such as teachers in their STEM classes, as well as for professional and private training and learning purposes. "DigiLifeScience" (Digitalization of Life Sciences) is a follow-up project to the KA2 project named COVIMO ("COVID-19 pandemic as an 'opportunity window' for the transition towards new and more inclusive internationalization through virtual mobility"), funded by the EU’s Erasmus+ program (https://covimo.czu.cz/en). The app was developed in collaboration between the University of Natural Resources and Life Sciences, Vienna (BOKU University, www.boku.ac.at) and other universities in the CASEE network (ICA Network of Central and Southeast European Higher Education Institutions with a focus on Life Science disciplines, https://www.ica-casee.eu/about-casee). covimo.czu.cz
