NatureAR Arenal

NatureAR is an augmented reality application designed to enrich the visitor experience in Costa Rica's national parks and protected areas. Through this innovative tool, you can learn about the history, biodiversity, conservation, and protection of natural and cultural resources in an interactive and engaging way.

The app aims to promote environmental literacy among tourists and residents in areas such as Arenal Volcano National Park, Juan Castro Blanco National Water Park, Tenorio Volcano National Park, and Caño Negro Mixed Wildlife Refuge.

With NatureAR you can:

• Explore cultural symbols and elements of Costa Rican biodiversity.

• Access information that is not normally visible to the naked eye.

• Learn about the conservation and sustainable management of natural resources.

• Enjoy immersive experiences without interrupting your direct contact with nature.

The project is developed using a participatory action research approach, which means it actively involves communities and park managers to ensure relevant educational experiences. NatureAR's purpose is to enhance the tourist experience and strengthen environmental and cultural awareness by combining Costa Rica's natural wealth with the potential of immersive technologies.
