The Royal Ontario Museum Ultimate Dinosaurs: Giants from Gondwana exhibit will make its U.S. premiere on June 13 when it opens its doors at the Cincinnati Museum Centre. The exhibit features artifacts, bones, fossils, and 17 full-size skeletal casts recently excavated from South America, Africa and Madagascar. They are 65 million to 250 million years old.
"This exhibition gives you the extraordinary opportunity to experience dinosaurs you've never seen before, in ways you've never imagined," Douglass W. McDonald, president and CEO of the Cincinnati Museum Center, told Times Colonist.
The exhibit will also include a dash of augmented reality made possible by iPads mounted on columns paired with downloadable apps. The technology will layer virtual experiences on top of the exhibit and "will allow people to download an app, point their iPads or iPhones at markers such as posters or rugs or even small stickers and see an animated dinosaur appear to pop out of their phone."
