Our mission: scientific content, design of interpretive tools.

The Environmental Center is part of a large-scale project for the enhancement, preservation, and interpretation of the natural heritage of the Barre region in Southwestern France.
The Center increases awareness and appreciation of local wildlife, through an interactive experience designed to be both entertaining and educational.

To meet these objectives, we devised an innovative solution featuring an audiovisual guide to introduce visitors to the content of the exhibition. Visitors are invited to relate what they have experienced in the center to the natural environment outside.
We have solved one of the persistent drawbacks to typical nature center exhibits: how to link an indoor experience to an actual walk in the woods.
Our solution is GPS-based, allowing visitors to access content in direct relation to where they are standing in the exhibition space or park. They carry a small hand-held multimedia device which guides them round the visitor circuit. The device interacts seamlessly with the multimedia and static exhibits indoors.
