Description
The mobile app that brings skeletons to life at the Smithsonian’s Natural History Museum in Washington, DC now creates the same 3-D experience at home or in the classroom. The app has a special way to ‘see’ skeletons on display in the Bone Hall, or printed on paper and on a monitor. Astonishing things happen in 3-D and the audio is as wild as the places the animals come from. Use the app from wherever you are to peer into the inner lives of animals like bats, giant sea cows, rattlesnakes and more. Meet the people who study them, ponder big ideas about the natural world and play a game or two.
- 10 augmented reality experiences with 3-D tracking will change the way you see skeletons
- Two games and two interactives boost your animal skills
- 32 videos take you around the world--from the Congo to the Arctic to the Amazon
- Listen to forests and prairie and bats and snakes
- videos and animations are captioned

Ratings and Reviews
Let down
The woodpecker worked great and we were excited. Nothing else worked though. A lot of the AR needs you to watch a video first, but the video never loads. Good concept with zero follow through.
Good for the room
My kids loved it. Only need it for about 15 minutes. The ones that just showed the skins were very cool. The kids actually jumped when they saw the Mandrin.
Good idea, poor execution
Loved the idea of using augmented reality. The app is so bloated with videos that it takes too long to load anything. The UI needs to be streamlined to be easier and faster to use. Too clunky.
