Walk Amungst the Dino’s!

Have you ever wanted to walk with the Dinosaurs? I know I have. Impossible you say? I agree. But, over in Japan you can get the next best thing. Augmented reality! The wiz-kids over at Canon have developed a 3-D exhibit for the masses at a museum in Chiba, Japan that allows visitors the opportunity to don a pair of 3-D glasses and watch nearly life sized dino’s trot around the museum floor! Wow! If the dinosaur in this rendering is any indication, they apparently have the dino’s highly sedated and they didn’t really take any creative license as to the color. Grey, huh? neat. All told there are over 260 species you can view.
