Augmented Reality
This educational multimedia application help you better understand the impact of current environmental disturbances, caused by climate change and anthropogenic activity, on permafrost thaw and local communities in the Arctic. Discover the science of permafrost and learn while having fun: the Frozen-Ground Cartoons augmented reality application gathers 3D pictures, photos, maps, animated cartoons and videos. Thanks to 3D objects or photos, you can be in front of a polar bear and an Arctic fox or navigate in interactive maps representing the permafrost zones in the Arctic. The cartoons will teach you what permafrost is, the impact of climate change and how scientists study the water and carbon cycles, essential for understanding the phenomena of global change. Finally, the videos will explain to you what local solutions are envisaged in the communities and how scientists and indigenous populations collaborate to understand and adapt to this changing environment. Enjoy this innovative tool associated to the comics!



Board Game
The objective of this initiative is to build a high-quality science-themed board game, associated with the Augmented Reality (AR) material where permafrost science itself drives the gameplay. We are working with board game professionals and using a multiplayer permafrost worldmap platform to engage the player into educative travel.
The goal is to move around the platform by correctly answering relevant questions. Questions are split into six categories:
-
Biology
-
Geosciences
-
Physics & Chemistry
-
Social & Human Sciences
-
History & Archeology
-
Geopolitics & Economy
​
Players will test their knowledge, visualizing AR tools
at each step of the game.
