Have Your Say

We’re testing how effective these AR experiences are in helping people understand and care for our freshwater environments. The project aims to explore whether immersive storytelling can influence attitudes toward protecting sensitive habitats and foster empathy for the non-human species that depend on the river for survival.

If you are 18 years or older, we invite you to take part in a short 10-minute online survey (16 questions) — Tell us what you think here ›

All survey responses are anonymous and confidential. Data will be aggregated for potential use in future academic publications or conference presentations. No individual responses will ever be identifiable.
