Digidome for Zoos and Aquariums

The popularity of zoos and aquariums has been declining over the past 20 years as newer attractions spring up to compete with them. As a result, the animal exhibit industry has been searching for solutions to bring in more visitors and, with them, revenue.

One tactic you may have noticed is the introduction of technology in zoos and aquariums. Using innovations in digital media and technology, zoos and aquariums have begun to build more immersive experiences to make animal encounters more personal and engaging. Let’s take a look at how technological innovations can bring new life to an industry that has begun to stagnate. 

The animals aren’t always cooperative, but technology is

In the past, zoos and aquariums had very few exhibits that allowed visitors to interact with animals and fish. Most of the enclosures kept zoo inhabitants and humans separate, which created the feeling of walking through a museum rather than having an animal encounter. The extent of technology at zoos and aquariums during that time was a mounted TV showing video of the inhabitants.

Now, with the help of virtual reality and digital displays, zoo and aquarium patrons can have engaging immersive experiences that are both educational and exciting. This technology gives visitors personalized recommendations and maps of what exhibits to see next, provides interesting and accurate information about zoo inhabitants, and distributes important notifications directly to targeted groups of guests. Furthermore, AI has been instrumental in analyzing and improving the living conditions of zoo and aquarium creatures.
