Be the Dinosaur museum exhibit - The world around you.

This video is an editing together of all the video content for the "World Around you" section of the Be the Dinosaur traveling museum exhibit. In the exhibit, the video is presented in discrete 20-40 second segments for the environment of a museum floor.

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!

Actually all of those plants are accurate. What you see are rushes, which are not grasses but of a similar type. You can see by comparing the size of the blades with the animals - and they are actually very large, much larger than blades of grass. Flowering plants, however, had already evolved by the time of T. rex and triceratops.
