Life-size 3D Dinosaurs Come Alive in Augmented Reality at the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles

Published: October 5, 2016

INDE’s Back to the Jurassic Augmented Reality experience, with a remarkable large-screen installation, makes an impressive debut at the first annual Dino Fest organised by the Natural History Museum of Los Angeles on Sept 24-25, 2016.

Future paleontologists, dino geeks and Jurassic enthusiasts were given a special chance to get up-close and personal with the life-size 3D versions of some of the most mysterious creatures that ever walked the earth. BroadcastAR, INDE’s big-screen AR system allowed participants to stand side by side with a giant T-Rex and a pack of raptors, see a caulkicephalus fly above their head and meet other admirable creatures right from the Jurassic.

The Back to the Jurassic big screen experiences run on INDE's BroadcastAR system which puts customisable, interactive, Augmented Reality 3D experiences on any screen, indoor or outdoor digital signage or temporary LED / Plasma screen

This cutting-edge technology allows people to travel millions of years to interact with some beautifully detailed, incredibly realistic animated dinosaurs. “Augmented reality is not a technology, it’s a teleportation machine. It’s bringing back the extinct and then learning about out why they’re gone. It’s touching wild animals and learning about the fragile environment and our impact on it." said Alex Poulson, CEO.

With great crowd engagement and social sharing support, BroadcastAR provides a next-generation edutainment platform and a unique media space. INDE has also developed a mobile version of this captivating dinosaur experience: the Back to the Jurassic MobileAR application operates on iOS and Android smartphones and tablets to create unparalleled educational opportunities.
