Apatosaurus Brain Case
Development of an interactive interface for a public kiosk located in the Dinosaur Gallery at the Union Terminal. Guests can explore in real time the 3D model of the dinosaur's brain case.
Services: Real-time 3D model viewer development for a touchscreen kiosk, interactive UI design for anatomical exploration, 3D scan data integration, and responsive adaptation for desktop and mobile.
The Goal
Offer an opportunity for visitors of the Cincinnati Museum Center's Dinosaur Gallery to explore the digital 3D model of an Apatosaurus brain case, and understand how technology can assist in the study of dinosaurs.
UI Design
The interface lets guests zoom and rotate the model, access information on specific features, and see past the ‘bone’ enclosure to reveal other components of the skull's anatomy.
New Tools for Archaeology Research
The experience combines a fun activity that entertains while educating, and enlightens visitors about the potential new technologies may bring to the archaeological field by supporting traditional methods of study and analysis.
Exploring the 3D Scan
Making visible the results of the 3D scan of the first Apatosaurus skull found connected to the neck, and letting visitors in on the secret behind the bones.
Discover every detail
Experience the fossil in an interactive 3D model. Rotate, zoom, and explore it as if it were in your hands.
From Large Touchscreen to desktop and mobile screens
The Apatosaurus Brain Case Experience was adapted from the original kiosk setup to desktop and mobile screens, and included as part of the CMC In Hand digital environment.
