Abstract

The Asian elephant, evaluated as an endangered species by the International Union for Conservation of Nature (IUCN), faces increasing threats due to population growth and habitat degradation. More and more Asian elephants migrate from protected areas to surrounding state-owned and communal forests, leading to frequent human-elephant conflicts in nearby villages. To mitigate these conflicts and preserve the elephants’ original habitat, raising public awareness of the conservation of wild Asian elephants is imperative. Interactive installation art design integrates interactivity, artistry, and education, guiding individuals to reflect on their relationship with nature and society through interaction with the installations. Through immersive experiences, users become fully immersed in the narratives conveyed by the design, eliciting multiple emotional responses through kinetic effects, sound, and tactile sensations. Using “Elephant Roars Heard Just a Stone’s Throw Away” as a design prototype, this paper focuses on the changes brought about by applying the Arduino open-source platform to interactive communication methods in modern museums and science communication platforms. It aims to promote the concept of shared nature among humans, ecological habitats, and wildlife, offering novel insights for integrating art design and mass communication in the future.
