Ocean Climate Change AR vs Insects AR

Get ready to dive into the depths of our oceans with an exciting application that brings the impact of human activity and climate change to life on your very own desk! Using augmented reality (AR), explore three captivating topics: Sea Level, Sea Temperature, and Sea Surface Currents, as you visualize the data directly on your personal globe. The incredible data comes straight from EMODnet Physics, the European Marine Observation and Data Network for physical data (https://emodnet.ec.europa.eu/en/physics). Delve deeper into specific geographical areas or subjects with fascinating points of interest for each topic. And that's not all! Thanks to an awesome collaboration with The Ocean Race, you can also access mind-blowing data collected by sailing vessels racing around the world (https://www.theoceanrace.com/en/racing-with-purpose). Get ready to discover the impact and changes that affect our precious oceans and join the movement to preserve them for future generations!

Imagine holding the wonders of the insect world right in your hands. AR Insects is an interactive augmented reality project developed at the Emerging Analytics Center (EAC) that brings lifelike bugs into your environment with just a smartphone or tablet. Using AR technology, users scan special image targets, and instantly — a butterfly, roach, firefly, bee, or tick comes to life, popping out of the screen in vivid 3D. Each insect is fully animated, complete with natural sounds and dynamic reactions to user interaction. Tap an insect and watch it respond — buzzing louder, glowing, or triggering special behaviors. The experience doesn’t stop at first glance. Users can move their device to explore the insects from any angle, seeing them as if they were physically present, adding depth and realism that captivates audiences of all ages. AR Insects is a blend of education, entertainment, and cutting-edge technology, demonstrating the powerful ways augmented reality can make learning and exploration truly unforgettable.
