is possible to walk in a park, or on the street, and encounter dinosaurs and mammoths? Now, thanks to Metagate's latest AR experience, yes!
Si chiama "Evolution in geological eras" and it is an installation in augmented reality accessible from any phone. On the screen, the user will see dinosaurs inserted directly into the environment around them: a T-rex can appear at home, on the street, or in the office!
Not only that: at the center of the experience is the possibility to select different geological eras and find oneself surrounded by the life forms typical of each period. The evolution in the various geological eras thus becomes a process to watch live and to locate in the space that the user prefers most.
The experience has a clear educational purpose: let’s imagine, for example, that a primary school class could access the Metagate installation via a phone. Dinosaurs would no longer be studied only in books, but could be observed in reality. The integration of this new technology into a more "standard" learning process has all the potential to stimulate children's learning, capturing their attention in a new and smart way.
As of today, users can access the experience through the app Over the Reality (downloadable on any smartphone), but soon it will also be possible to access it through augmented reality headsets (like the Meta Quest3), as is already the case for other Metagate experiences.
"Evolution in Geological Eras" was created specifically for theAR KID for the Sxsw and is geolocated in Austin, Texas (certified through a POAP NFT dedicated). We thank you for your collaboration Hexidized and Ardoda.
Waiting for experiences of this kind on Meta Quest 3!
