In the National Natural History Museum, a batch of specimens that have been sleeping for a long time are "alive" - AR (augmented reality) intelligent guide glasses and AR intelligent guide camera were officially launched in November. With the help of intelligent devices, the statically displayed specimens appear vividly in front of the audience, revealing the mystery of life.
Put on AR glasses and stand at the point sign in front of the display cabinet. The audience can automatically trigger the AR content as long as they look at the specimen: the "little flying thief" ancestral winged beast among the thieves opens its skin film and flies to the front of the eyes with the help of the wind, demonstrating the aerial stunts from the Jurassic era; The earliest placental mammal in the world, the Chinese Jurassic beast, with a long tail, climbed skillfully in the tree; The skeleton of Shi's Sword Teeth Elephant (Yellow River Elephant), the treasure of the town hall, has flesh and blood. It slowly shakes its head and walks closer to the quagmire
"We have selected 30 points, each of which corresponds to the star exhibits in the museum." Hou Ying, director of the public service department of the museum, said that the AR intelligent navigation camera launched at the same time also selected 30 points, some of which coincide with glasses, but bring different experiences to the audience, "The AR camera contains wonderful illustrations, realistic 3D animal models, lively animations, and interactive games. Family viewers can also experience AR group photos, photo printing, magic albums and other functions."
While focusing on visual effects, museums also pay special attention to science. Hou Ying, for example, took AR glasses as an example to restore the process of the Yellow River elephant falling into a quagmire and forming fossils through strata accumulation. In the original version, around the quagmire, there are abundant water and grass, tall trees, and lush greenery. After research, researchers believe that the Yellow River elephants lived in a dry environment with sparse vegetation. Finally, the technicians adjusted the original scene accordingly.
The new navigation function is welcomed by the audience. In the past three weeks, about 2000 visitors have experienced AR visit. "We will continue to upgrade and eventually achieve full coverage of AR technology in the museum," Hou Ying said. (Niu Weikun)
