Great ape stars sign up for next stage of Safari Central
If you have been following us for a while, you know our big vision project is Safari Central, a location-based game that brings real animals from the wild to your world. In the past two years, we’ve prototyped several versions of the game and raised funds through a Kickstarter campaign to develop the tech further. So we are super excited to announce that we are now in the process of building the full-fledged version of Safari Central, and we are kicking it off exclusively with Great Ape stars.
Augmented Reality and Mixed Reality in aid of conservation
The technology is best known for gaming, marketing, and productivity applications, but it's also being used to protect wildlife, writes IoE's head of product, Jake Manion, in Scientific American.
Can tech bring people closer to wildlife?
Today, we are launching the preview app of our full game, Safari Central! Safari Central uses data from animal protection organisations to create Augmented Reality (AR) versions of real animals including elephants, jaguars, and lemurs, in a free app that players download to their phones.
