For the best AR experience

• Unmute your device and turn up the audio
• Turn your device to landscape
• Hold your device about chest height to scan the image
• If you don't like the angle or scale you are viewing, hit the Re-scan button and scan the skull image again
• If the animations start to partially disappear, you may have moved in too close. Try moving back slightly and you should see the full animation again.
• If you want to get in close to the dinosaurs in order to see more detail, pull your fingers apart to zoom in or pinch them together to zoom out

This app is compatible with the following devices:

• iPhone 8 and above, iPad Pro, iPad 5th generation and above, iPod touch 7th generation using iOS 13 or later.
• Android devices with a front and back-facing camera, using Android 10.0 and later.
