Palaeozoology in VR

GEORISK - Palaeozoology in VR

This interactive visualization uses the Unreal Engine with the Landscape Pro plugin.
It contains models and animations from Sketchfab and the Microsoft 3D Viewer application.
Many of the contained fossils have been scanned and modeled by the Evolution & Diversity Dynamics Lab and can be found here. Additional information about the finite elements simulation code used for the inferior feline jaw and the corresponding research can be found by following the corresponding links. The first few seconds of the iconic Jaws movie soundtrack are playing close to the shoreline near the Megalodon. And a peacock sound can be heard near the pterodactyl as well as the T-Rex roar from the first Jurassic Park movie may also be triggered during the demo.
Text details on the Sketchfab models can be triggered inside the visualization.
Interactive 3D representations of subject related scientific publications and posters have been included in the demo as references.
