Animals in your world
Using Magic Leap’s spatial computing technology, we bring a Leafcutter ant colony and a Wandering spider into your world space.
Authentic Behaviours
Using Artificial Intelligence (AI) we recreated the animals’ behaviours, allowing you to experience in real-time how they react to their world and your presence.
Active Storytelling
Utilising a dynamic story-engine, we delivered an active experience which responds to your world space and your interactions.
Visualising the Invisible
By visualising the incredible senses which these animals possess, we can go beyond what in conventional natural history storytelling.
