VR ZOO FOR KIDS

Abstract

The objective of this project is using a game concept to create virtual reality zoo based application. Experiences among human and animal in zoo are in effect progressively improved, mediated and extended using digital technologies. This report presents the results of research into the design, use and experience of virtual zoo. This technology has recently emerged as an affordable consumer device with increasing uptake in education and museums. Drawing on research methodologies from the field of human-computer interaction, this project followed a 'research through-design’ approach, which tried to find more about the capability of VR advancements in the zoo. This project therefore supports further investigation of VR video as a form of visitor experience to be deployed alongside keeper talks, animal presentations and behind-the-scenes experiences, with clear opportunities for positive visitor experience. This project shows how a game concept could combine the physical and digital worlds. The concept suggest that to create experiences for different visitors, the information should adapt to the visitors as well as letting visitors become part of the experience with, e.g., user generated content. This pt would make it possible for zoos and visitors to expand the user experience include the time before, during, and after the visit. This project is to conce timespan to develop Virtual reality Android based namely Zoo App for providing the kid’s zoo based real environment in the virtual form providing them information about animals.
