ZOOFARI
Zoofari is an application designed as a part of Virtual Reality wearable technology offering people the possibility to observe animals in their natural habitats with normal behavior, without hurting and torturing them. The purpose of the project is to let animals live in peace, freely in their natural habitat.
With a visit to the Zoo being impossible due to the stay-at-home order, the zoo is bringing its programs to you!
In an effort to help meet the educational and learning needs of children and parents during the coronavirus, the Zoo is offering an all-new "Virtual Visit" program.
​
IMPORTANCE
With Virtual Reality, a viewer gets a 360-degree view of an environment with real-life like sights and sounds. Moreover, people can experience animals in greater detail as there will be no danger involved in a VR headset. With VR, people can get more information about the various species as compared to the actual visit.
