Canon Unveils Augmented Reality Take on Jurassic Park

Sure, we may not have the technology to create our own legitimate Jurassic Park (yet!), but that doesn’t mean we can’t try. And thanks to the minds over at Canon, we’re one step closer to being toe to toe with our prehistoric friends.

In an exhibit over in Chiba, Japan there will be 260 different dinosaurs to check out by means of a virtual reality viewer. A look through the viewer will put the dino about 5 meters away from you.

The exhibit will be on display from July 18th to August 1st, so if you’re hoping to make it over to Japan for a look, you best book soon.

Chiba is a city in Japan, East of Tokyo.  Not a typo.

Before anyone posts, that was a joke for my old 80's Rap fans (cheeba).  Anyway.  Love you guys.

"Chiba"?

As a subscriber to the magazine I am begging you to please put more effort into checking the copy before posting or printing it.  This is pathetic.

I posted something really mean here, and then I read your second post >.> so I thought I would be nice and get rid of it. I will leave my link though.
