Hidden Creature Gallery: Augmented Reality Fun for Kids
Hidden Creature Gallery is a free augmented reality app developed by Arena Theatre Company for Android users. This app enables children to create and animate their creatures using augmented reality technology. The app premiered at Castlemaine State Festival in March 2019.
With the help of the Arena Artists, children can take a photo of an interesting feature in the location and transform it into an animated creature using motion capture technology. Kids can animate the character with their voice and movement, making it more fun and interactive. Visitors can use their smart devices to search for the creatures that are hidden throughout the location.
To use the app, users need to allow camera access and ensure they have mobile or wifi coverage. Search for numbered markers that are clues as to where the creatures are hidden, and when found, point your camera about 1m away from the marker to bring the creature to life. For more help using the app, visit the Arena Theatre Company website.
Overall, Hidden Creature Gallery is an exciting app that combines creativity, technology, and exploration. It is perfect for kids who love to create and explore, and it provides an interactive and engaging experience.
