It’s in consortium with the laboratory CEFE (Center for Functional and Evolutionary Ecology, CNRS, Paul Valéry University, University of Montpellier and IRD) and the Lunaret Zoo in Montpellier that we have carried out this program to combine art, science and technology. After several months of research, we have developed The hidden lives of the soil. An augmented reality application that reveals the invisible world hidden under our feet. Beyond the educational dimension, this project aims to convey important messages around biodiversity such as the importance of preserving the soil and its inhabitants. This approach provides the zoo with a new tool and subject of mediation. The application is available for smartphones on iOS (iPhone 6S or more recent) or on Android (Android 10 or more recent, and depending on the smartphone's capabilities). It is currently being used at the Zoo du...
