Struve AR Experience 4+

Explore the story of the Unesco World Heritage site Struve Geodetic Arc through the Struve Experience –application. The application works at the Oravivuori nature path, which is one of the Struve Arc measuring points and a beautiful visiting site in Central Finland in Korpilahti, Jyväskylä.

The Struve Geodetic Arc was built to measure the size and shape of the Earth during the 1800s. It spans from the Arctic Sea to the Black Sea, and was enrolled on the UNESCO World Heritage list in 2005. Six of the Arc points on the World Heritage List are located in Finland.

The four artists that have created the Struve Experience story are:
Minja Revonkorpi (visual artist, graphic designer, art teacher): Graphic elements, animations and visual art content.
Laura Rukola (artist, art educator, dancer, environmental educator): Production manuscripts and dance-based AR art content.
Olga Kolari (sound designer, musician, poet): Soundscapes and poetry.
Arto Polus (animator, AV technician, media artist): Animations.

The art contents open up automatically at seven different points along the way on the nature path. The contents can also be opened in the app itself.

Zaibatsu Interactive is the technical executor of the AR application.

The project is funded by the Finnish Ministry of Education and Culture and is coordinated by Humak University of Applied Sciences. The main partners are Visit Jyväskylä Region, National Land Survey of Finland and Digi & Game center.
