AR DINOSAUR REBORN DISPLAY

Not only the dinosaurs’ skin mapping on the dinosaurs’ bone, dinosaur fossils can be set as the AR marker. And the 3D animation will be played at the same time fully matching to the real fossil. The animation can show the dinosaur bones coming out from the fossil. Then they reconstructed to form a dinosaur skeleton. The meat and the hair will be formed slowly and then the dinosaur will be reburned!

 LEGENDS OF THE GIANT DINOSAURS EXHIBITION

The traditional museum dinosaur exhibition shows bones, fossils, model and posters. To our visitors, it is no longer attractive enough. In 2012, Hong Kong Science Museum started the preparation for the dinosaur show scheduled in 2013. Multiple updated technologies were discussed to apply in this exhibition including mobile game, advanced augmented reality, ultra sound location detection, 3D projection, different sensing technologies, Andriod-based interactive kiosk, wireless network, exhibit hardware and software as well as fabrication. It is one of the exhibitions adopting most technologies in Hong Kong in 2013-2014. What is the secret behind the Legends of the Giant Dinosaurs Exhibition?

At first, players need to pick an egg and answer questions about dinosaurs. They may get one incubation energy unit for each correct answer. A baby dinosaur will be hatched when three units were got. Furthermore, they will lose one chance for each wrong answer. When all the chances are exhausted, the game will be suspended for 30 minutes. They can skip the question without losing a chance.
