The experience-based living creature encyclopedia app Earth Saver Quest was released on July 11. The app uses AI scanning to identify creatures and allows users to build a personal encyclopedia. A creature-hunting event using the app, Earth Saver Project in Tottori, runs from July to November at eight facilities in Tottori Prefecture. An opening ceremony on July 18 at the Tottori Prefectural Museum will feature Governor Hirai and animation director Shoji Kawamori.
The app was developed by CLASS EARTH and vildas, with vildas responsible for the AI scanning system. After scanning a creature with the app's camera, the AI identifies it and adds it to the user's encyclopedia. The Tottori event is a continuation of last year's project at the Osaka/Kansai Expo. At the opening ceremony, the project's purpose and the results of over 30 nature observation sessions held in the prefecture will be explained, along with how to use the app. The app will remain usable at the eight facilities for one year after the event ends.
