Dinobox Mixed Media

Meet my dinobox prototype, attempting to merge physical with interactive digital content without any AR/VR goggles.

And a start of a passion project, creating cool museum content for kids to learn, interact, and play. <3 :t_rex:

Youtube:

The dino was modelled, rigged and animated in Blender andI used Unreal for the realtime rendering.
The fur was done in Houdini (but I would have used Blender if I created it again now…)
I took and revamped the asset from a previous (pre-render) project, which I have written about it here, in case someone is interested:

The base for the interactive parts was a standalone python program (media pipe for vison) and an arduino :slight_smile:

Huge thanks to Andy Brunton for animation help, and Aline Marcele Ghilardi for scientific feedback on the dinosaur.
