Maple Sugaring AR App

Education | Entertainment | Nature/Cultural Center

Since 1968, the Riveredge Nature Center has been an incredible environmental education space and sanctuary, offering 379 acres of a “learning laboratory.” To continue offering incredible educational opportunities, the nature center looked to Balance Studios to create an augmented reality (AR) app that highlighted the seasonal changes of the maple sugar tree.

Visitors can activate the Maple Sugar AR App anywhere by spreading their soil to scan the environment and then tapping to activate the tree. They watch as a life-size tree grows in front of their eyes in photo-real 3D. From there they can select a season or to explore the features of the trees. Animations education how the tree’s intricate inner workings keep these beautiful trees alive throughout each season.
