About Dinosaur Discovery

The Dinosaur Discovery app accompanies the premier dinosaur exhibition "Dinosaur Discovery: Lost Creatures of the Cretaceous”, on show at the Queensland Museum, Brisbane, Australia from 27 March 2015.

This app features unique 3D content that is accessed by finding and discovering frame markers located throughout the exhibition, on merchandise and also publicly available on marketing material including posters, flyers, bus stops and in newspapers and magazines.

Users can take photos with these dinosaurs, standing next to them or holding them in their hands and they can save these photos to their camera roll or share them on Twitter and Facebook through the app.

The 3D dinosaurs in this application are anatomically correct representations which are based on the latest paleontological research. The dinosaurs featured in this app include:

1. Leaellynasaura
2. Australovenator
3. Minmi
4. Muttaburrasaurus
5. Therizinosaurus
6. Spinosaurus
7. Carcharodontosaurus
8. Styracosaurus
9. Amargasarus
10. Protoceratops
11. Velociraptor
12. Tyrannosaurus rex

For users who are not at the exhibition, sample markers can be downloaded and printed from the Dinosaur Discovery support page on the Western Australian Museum’s website.

This app inverts the camera when used on a Nexus 5x. Likely because it uses an old API that does not access the camera correctly.

U70%

I bought the companion book and I was delighted seeing Spinosaurus burst out of the cover. The animated Velociraptor was also cool to look at. However, most of the dinosaurs are just static. Also, this app isn't compatible with my Samsung Galaxy S5 so I couldn't download it. Good thing it works on my Galaxy Note 10.1 otherwise, it would have been disappointing reading the book without having the experience the app brings. Hope you can fix that compatibility issue.

Really innovative app. My daughter loved seeing the dino's

Q70%
by Q####:

This app took several attempts to download. Once that step had been achieved, the app never worked. All that ever came up was a black screen. Will be uninstalling asap. May try on an iPad but not expecting a different result. Really disappointing. (Follow Up: I stand corrected. The Apple version works on an iPad Air. Perhaps this app is too much for an old Galaxy S2. Impressive app but still disappointing that it didn't work here on Android)

very bad game

C70%
by C####:

App is OK, but for some reason, the app has to be restarted if I put my phone into standby. The app takes about 10 - 15 seconds to start each time so this becomes very annoying. App should be able to just continue when phone comes out of standby. Other than that, very good, well done !

The app takes ages to download on the museums wifi...load at home before you go

What a great idea. Unfortunately I can't get to the museum but I heard about it on the ABC Science Show podcast and installed it to try the sample. I wish you would publish all the dinosaur signs.

Downloaded but unable to install. Worked well on the Note 2 we have. Downloads very fast on your own mobile data. A minute or less.

P70%
by P####:

Wife and I were excited about going to the exhibit. We were prompted to download the app. It won't open at all. Great exhibit, definitely worth the ticket price as it is, but it still would've been nice to have the extras that the app provided as well.
