japan-ar-museumCanon has partnered with a museum in Japan to create an augmented reality exhibit of dinosaurs as part of the “Dinosaurs-Miracle of the Desert”.

Visitors will be allowed to don a pair of virtual reality glasses that will display nearly life-sized three-dimensional images of various dinosaurs right there on the museum floor. Displaying over 260 dinosaur specimens, some of the virtual creatures in the exhibit will also move, adding to their realistic effect.

    Hi Randall.

    I am interested to find out more information on this exhibition Canon developed. Do you have any contacts I could speak with at Canon who could assist?
