Dinosaurs Among Us

Un esperimento in realtà aumentata dal Museo Americano di Storia Naturale.

There are dinosaurs in your kitchen! At least, there can be. Combining the power of Tango’s 3D mapping technology and the scientific expertise of paleontologists from the American Museum of Natural History, this app brings you virtual models of Archaeopteryx, Velociraptor, and other dinosaurs from the Museum’s Dinosaurs Among Us exhibition via your Tango device.

Dinosaurs are Everywhere

- The Dinosaurs Among Us app harnesses Tango technology to turn any room into a dinosaur extravaganza. See four dinosaurs from the exhibition and put their pictures on the wall, perch them over your desk, or squeeze them onto your couch.

Honey, I Shrunk the Dinos

- You control the scale! See how the family dog stacks up to a life-sized model of Velociraptor. Then, shrink the prehistoric predator down to the size of an action figure for display on a shelf or tabletop.

Learn on the Go

- Catch up on the latest dinosaur research courtesy of paleontology pointers from Museum scientists.

Dinosaurs Among Us is curated by Mark Norell, Macaulay Curator and Chair of the Division of Paleontology.
