Bird Life / Bird Song

AR postcards combining visual bird identification with birdsong.

AR development / educational design

Outputs: AR postcard series

AReducationnature

An AR postcard series where images of birds triggered animated 3D birds and their songs. Designed to help audiences connect visual identification with birdsong.

Educational concept

Birdwatching guides teach visual identification, and audio guides teach birdsong, but rarely are the two combined in a way that reinforces the connection between appearance and sound.

The experience

Scanning a postcard with an image of a bird triggered a 3D animated version of that bird along with its authentic song, creating a multisensory learning experience.

Learning through AR

The project demonstrated how AR can combine visual and audio learning in ways that printed guides cannot, helping people develop richer sensory recognition skills.
