PlanetsTokyoCollectingForest is a free lifestyle app designed to enhance the experience of the teamLab Planets TOKYO exhibition. Users can engage with the artwork "Catching and Collecting Extinct Forest" by utilizing augmented reality features. The app allows users to capture virtual animals by pointing their smartphone cameras at them and using a Research Arrow or setting up a Research Net. As users interact with the app, they can build a collection of the animals they catch, which are displayed in a virtual illustrated collection book.

The app not only facilitates capturing and collecting but also encourages users to return the animals to their original locations by swiping them over the corresponding spots visible in the app's camera view. With each captured animal, users unlock more detailed information about the species, enriching the educational aspect of the experience. This combination of gaming and learning makes PlanetsTokyoCollectingForest a unique and engaging way to explore the exhibition.
