Be the Dinosaur - Sneak Peek - Setting up at LSC

Setting up "Be the Dinosaur" for its premiere at the wonderful Louisville Science Center.

This is a sneak peek behind the scenes to give you a look at the physical surroundings of the virtual cretaceous era dinosaur simulation at the heart of the exhibit.

The set up was nearly complete, all the networking was in place and functioning but the museum staff had yet to secure the cables and direct their spot and theatrical lights.

Even with the bright work lights on the exhibit elements glowed nicely so when it is properly lit it should be even better.

Be the Dinosaur is focused on exploring some of the greatest mysteries of paleontology - dinosaur behavior - in a completely interactive way.

How might they have lived? What was a day in the life of a dinosaur like? What can fossil evidence tell us about the way extinct animals lived their lives?

Be the Dinosaur allows museum visitors to do what they have always wanted to do - to "become" dinosaurs. Taking control of a digital animal in a detailed simulated ecosystem replete with wind currents that circulate odors, plant life with different nutritional values, artificially intelligent dinosaurs, mammals, reptiles and birds, etc..

Visitors need to learn what a dinosaur would have known by instinct - knowledge about the environment, where to find food, what foods are better than others, how to defend or hunt, etc. in order to survive the virtual cretaceous.

Take control of your virtual dinosaur and decide for yourself: were tyrannosaurs hunters, scavengers or both? Did they hunt in packs or as solitary creatures? How would terrain impact an animal's lifestyle? Try the behaviors for yourself and decide!

There are pterosaurs and edmonotsaurus. They are fully artificially intelligent and you can interact with them.
