“This app is all about sharing some of the untold stories behind one of the museum’s most iconic collections,” said Robert Costello, the Museum of Natural History’s national outreach program manager and producer of the app. The app adds details to many of the specimens to show how they move or look in life or how their skeletons work. In the app, 13 different skeletons on display come to life through the advanced technologies of 3-D augmented reality and 3-D tracking. The free app is available for download in the App Store and reinvents how visitors to the museum can experience select specimens on view in its historic “ Bone Hall,” an exhibit of almost 300 vertebrate skeletons.
