Innovators Point, an online outlet that features technology and innovation in the Pittsburgh community, highlighted the app we created with the Pittsburgh Zoo & Aquarium. With the article titled, 'Will Pittsburgh have the Zoo of the Future?', the author covers how the app tracks the visitors' locations, includes mini interactive games that are tied to different exhibits, and 360-degree videos inside animal cages.
The communications manager of the Pittsburgh Zoo and Aquarium is quoted, saying:
We really want to appeal to this generation. With this prototype, we feel we’ve created the first of its kind. No other zoo has this kind of app. This was a major undertaking, and to see it come to fruition is a proud moment.
The app is live and free to download in the Google Play store and iTunes.
