The experience is in the form of a digital simulation that is shown directly through the forest that is able to respond to current conditions. Later there will also be the movement of virtual forest creatures that can be activated through real time weather data.
Aaron Seeto, The director of the Macan Museum in a virtual press conference for The Lost Jungle said that the pandemic has changed the approach of children's art spaces to connect with technology. Therefore through the work of The Lost Jungle, is expected to make children and families imagine their impact on the environment.
It is also hoped that this awareness will create a reflection of Indonesia's natural wealth, both flora and fauna. As well as the threats posed by human activities to the ecological environment, which can lead to the extinction of animals and plants. Apart from the application, visitors can also view this work offline in a physical space with a virtual forest view.
