Dinosaurs

Walk in a valley to meet 16 species of dinosaurs

Dinosaurs first appeared during the Triassic period, 231.4 million years ago, and were the dominant terrestrial vertebrates for 135 million years, from the beginning of the Jurassic (about 201 million years ago) until the end of the Cretaceous (66 million years ago).

How to use

Press SPACE bar for the menu, move up and down with arrow keys to select a dinosaur, then press ENTER to be teleported. This application works nice for individual experience, but the original purpose is to help teachers using VR in the classroom to contextualize their lessons about dinosaurs. When launched from within EXO U workspace, the teacher can teleport the students to a specific location. For example, the teacher move to the T-Rex, then press the share key to have all students moving to the T-Rex. The students can see what the teacher is looking at, so the teacher can explain all the details. From an educational point of view, shared VR experience increases student engagement, and facilitate memorization of the educational content provided by the teacher during the experience. Brendan Iribe, chief executive of Oculus VR, said: Ì¢‰âÒWe believe this is going to be one of the most transformative platforms for education of all timeÌ¢‰âÂå. We could not agree more!
