## Description

PlanetsTokyo's CollectingForest is a smartphone companion for the exhibition piece 'Catching and Collecting Extinct Forest' at teamLab Planets TOKYO. Point your camera to catch animals with the Research Eye and set up a Research Net. Captured animals appear in an illustrated collection book within the app.

With CollectingForest, you can release captured animals to a location visible through the camera, expanding your exploration of the forest. The more animals you catch, the more detailed information is added to your collection via Research, blending art, interactivity, and education for visitors of all ages.
