AUSTRIA — Why we all live from the forest is shown by the new app “Wood goes Europe.” The forestry associations of Upper Austria and Salzburg present this comprehensive app about the domestic forestry and timber industry, in which Torrent and Avalanche Control as well as the Protective Forest Center also participated as project partners. The app launches as a pilot project as part of the European Capital of Culture 2024 in Bad Ischl. It aims to bring the forest ecosystem closer to visitors of the Capital of Culture and the Salzkammergut region. The app is intended to make the services of the domestic forestry and timber industry and the forest accessible to everyone. …Through augmented reality (AR), some forest functions can even be brought into your living room. To activate the ARfunctions, you simply need to choose an avatar.
