Dimono is an innovative XR project designed for the Carnegie Museum of Natural History, with the goal of transforming their Dinosaur in Their Time Exhibition into a cutting-edge, interactive space. The journey begins with visitors interacting with a projection at the entrance to initiate a personalized second-person perspective visiting experience.

Through mixed reality and spatial user interfaces, visitors engage more effectively with educational content, discovering hints about their chosen dinosaur embodiment and interacting with it using eye and motion tracking. Visitors can chat with iconic dinosaurs, enhancing their education experience through AI-powered dialogues.

Dimono not only redefines the museum experience for GenZ visitors but also addresses the current challenges faced by natural history museums in attracting and retaining younger audiences. The concept of Dimono paves the way for a new era in museum education, where interactive and immersive experiences become the norm, fostering a deeper connection between the public and the wonders of natural history.
