Museum Alive with David Attenborough
(Museum Alive with David Attenborough)
How would the world look if pterosaurs still soared in the air and sabre-toothed tigers roamed the forests? This innovative augmented reality (AR) project, narrated by David Attenborough, brings long extinct species back to life.
Although he dislikes the label, David Attenborough is considered a British national treasure. His voice has already earned him two Emmys for outstanding narrator, and he has been teaching viewers about life on earth for years. This is the first time his voice is a part of an augmented reality project – with the help of the latest Magic Leap glasses, the viewer will learn details about the lives of long-extinct species. Will dinosaurs and mammoths make an appearance at the DOX in Prague?
