About Feed A Titanosaur
Feed A Titanosaur is the ideal introduction to VR for a first time user
It is easy to control, delightfully original, and has a couple of very nice surprises all in a five-minute timeframe. An informative voice-over guides users through the experience.
About the experience
Come face to face with one of the largest creatures to ever walk planet Earth and feed it! The object of this bite-sized educational project is to allow amazing facts to be delivered in an immersive VR experience, with a focus on our Titanosaur – Argentinosaurus.
This ex was custom made fo museums and virtual reality experience centers, with the aim to provide short, easy to onboard but high impact introduction to VR
We love to innovate. In developing interactive installations for visitor centers, museums, and galleries we always aim to bring original concepts to life in new ways. This project blends the simple concept of dinosaur interaction with a friendly, highly detailed 3D mesh model, animating realistically and adjusting it’s poses based on the player’s actions – all delivered using an HTC Vive at room-scale.
As a result, the team has delivered a memorable VR experience blending incredible facts with moments of surprise and delight. In addition, running on an HTC Vive allows participants to move around the prehistoric landscape and inspect this Titanosaur up close using ‘dash’ teleport.
Sir David Attenborough launched this experience last year at York Museum in the UK as part of their Yorkshire’s Jurassic World exhibition and now for the first time, it has been released for the VR arcade and educational use. It is the ideal introduction to VR for the first time VR users. The experience is around five minutes in length.

✦ AI summary
Players praise this as an excellent introductory VR experience, particularly for newcomers and children who find the dinosaur encounter memorable and engaging. The simple feeding mechanic works well and the educational narration is clear, though the overall experience is quite short (3-5 minutes) with limited interactivity beyond the initial feeding sequence, and the graphics feel dated with the dinosaur becoming static and lifeless after the main interaction concludes.
if you want to show a child or your mom a dinosaur, this is hard to beat.2 found this helpful
It is a very good tutorial, when you teach it to someone who has never tried virtual reality they are amazed.2 found this helpful
[h1]Experienced on the Oculus Rift[/h1] This is a 3-5 minute cinematic experience with some basic interactions. It's running on the Unreal Engine. You listen to a narrator at the start give some basic information on the Titanosaur. The main interaction consists of feeding the Titanosaur by grabbing a branch and putting it close to the Titanosaur. You get to do this 3 times. You do need a room-scale setup (at least being able to take one step forward) to be able to reach the dinosaur. After feeding the dinosaur, can you then teleport around the map (not before). It's a rather small circular map. Then you can exit the map. That's all there is to it. The graphics are okay. They are bit outdated in 2020. Just basic textures around the environment and rudimentary lighting. The dinosaur 3D model looks nice though. I'm sure little kids would probably enjoy this. Maybe grandma or grandpa, depending on how senile they are. So is that worth $1.99 USD? [b]Rate 5/10. Neutral recommendation. I got it on sale for .99 cents. It should be free, but I'm okay with having paid $1 for it. [/b]2 found this helpful
Such a simple idea and well implemented. Few key points about the species, easily digested. Fun interaction with the dinosaur when feeding. The nephew and niece LOVED it. Who doesn't want to feed a dinosaur??2 found this helpful
Fantastic! No better way to introduce people to VR and get little kids to experience something they will never forget. It is short though.1 found this helpful
Overall I'd say this is worth it for the price. I just wish that the titanosaur moved around more once you finish feeding it and get to walk around. It feels really lifeless after the main interactive bit is done. That said, this is a great experience for $2 and it's a fun way to demo VR to people who haven't tried it before
