The use of RFID tags, encapsulated in the shape of polystyrene nails and inserted into trees, is analogous to that of QR codes. When identified by the mobile phone or tablet via NFC (near field communication), feature that facilitates device data decoding by the chip, the access to the content stored in the RFID tag is retrieved simply by approximation of the apparatus, and without student mediation.

A third technology under development is the use of digital models of virtual objects that appear as augmented reality elements in applications for mobile phones and tablets. In this case, figures of animals, birds, and creatures from Brazilian mythology are scattered throughout a delimited space. When localized by the student, these furnish information, challenges, and exercises through audiovisual information.

The protocols that are being developed using these strategies involve two different phenomena, both linked to conservation. The “plant identity” protocol QR codes placed on trees lead to information on the species and its importance to humans. The game “Bioexplorer ” uses figures of animals, birds, and elements from Brazilian mythology to discuss conservation of the Atlantic Rain Forest and its importance (Fig. 4.4).

The game "Bioexplorer" also allows the listening of audios on the mobile, with information about the elements, the ecosystems where they would be found, and their vulnerability. Photo by: Flávio A.S.
