Visitors take the controls at one of the state-of-the-art “simulator pods” to experience prehistoric adventures depicted on-screen in high definition. Theories of dinosaur behavior are explored in an environment so detailed that digital winds carry virtual odors and photorealistic flora have their own nutritional values. Players find and communicate with others in their herd, cooperate in defense, use their “sense of smell” to find food, cool off in the waters of a jungle stream, and observe fish and insect life. Rock-formation stations present information key to succeeding in the game and amber pillars focus attention on specific aspects of the environment 65 million years ago. The Design-A-Saurus station allows imaginations to run wild as visitors select basic body structures, size, and stance for their own custom dinosaur. A dinosaur safari jeep lets young visitors visit the virtual Cretaceous on a guided tour of the same digital realm experienced in the simulator pods. Be the Dinosaur: Life in the Cretaceous is a traveling exhibit from Eureka Exhibits and is sponsored by DuPont.
