In the age of ubiquitous information, museums are challenged with providing a unique and dynamic visitor experience. The Pacific Science Center, one of world’s leading science museums, is faced with a similar dilemma for its “Dinosaurs: Journey Through Time” exhibit. Project Alive employs Magic Leap One's spatial computing to simulate a mixed reality experience of the Mesozoic Era (252-66 million years ago) that is both immersive, and informative. Based on extensive user interviews and surveys, Project Alive incorporates elements of surprise and visual ecstasy within an interactive storyline that would truly bring the dinosaurs back to life.
