Zoo Educational App
Project number:
21033
Sponsor:
Reid Park Zoo
Academic year:
2020-2021
Project Goal: Design and create an application for the Reid Park Zoo that provides educational information for their visitors about its Chilean flamingos.
The typical zoo experience involves people walking up to each exhibit and reading a small snippet of information about the animal. The Reid Park Zoo tasked the team with creating an interactive application for guests to see information about the Chilean flamingo and its care and conservation efforts through text, photo, video and a 3D augmented reality model.
The team’s solution combines different software to make one cohesive application. They used reactNative to develop the use interface and informational pages. They used Blender 2.9 to build the 3D augmented reality model, which allows guests to view a realistic model of the Chilean Flamingo in front of them using their smartphone camera.
The application can be accessed via a QR code which will be posted outside of the exhibit.
