Introduction

A grant-funded project at the University of Florida

EcoTour is a mobile, augmented reality walking tour that connects the ecological history of Florida’s Paynes Prairie State Park to current environmental issues. Using an interactive map and augmented reality technology, visitors can scan signs within the park to access multimedia content, including archived audio-visual media related to specific physical locations. EcoTour creates a platform for ecological awareness that visitors can use while in the park space.

Note: this is an archived version of the project website, originally published at Ecotourapp.com. Some links may no longer be functional. Much of the tour content is no longer available, as the AR platform used for this project, Aurasma/HP Reveal was discontinued. Another version of the website is available via archive.org.
