Catching and Collecting Forest
Catching and Collecting Forest
Catching and Collecting Forest is a new learning space based on the concept of Catch, Study, Release, in which people explore the world with their bodies, discovering, catching, and broadening their interests based on what they catch. Visitors explore with their smartphones, capture various creatures, study them, and create their very own collection book.
When a visitor uses the smartphone's camera to look at an animal moving in the space, and shoots a Study Arrow at the animal in the camera's view, the arrow flies out from the phone into the real space. When the Study Arrow reaches the animal, it disappears from the space and is added to the visitor’s own smartphone collection. When a visitor swipes a captured animal towards a location seen can see in the app's camera, the animal is released and returns to that location.
