Miniature Physical 3D Models of the Brazilian Amazon with Augmented Reality Integration (2025–ongoing)

A series of portable miniature 3D models of the Brazilian Amazon (25 cm × 25 cm), produced using 3D printing technology, designed to enable easy distribution and use in policy meetings, workshops and public engagement activities. These models function as tangible tools for dialogue with policymakers, Indigenous leaders and wider audiences. An accompanying augmented reality (AR) mobile application is being developed to allow climate data, territorial information and Indigenous narratives to be projected directly onto the miniature models via smartphones, enabling users to visualise climate impacts, environmental change and Indigenous knowledge in an accessible and immersive way. This innovation extends the reach and usability of the research beyond exhibitions, supporting knowledge exchange, policy engagement and public understanding of climate change in the Amazon.
