​Travellers passing through Jewel Changi Airport in Singapore in recent months have been brushing up against some surprising visitors. From tough triceratops to vicious velociraptors, dinosaurs have taken over the airport’s spectacular seven storey waterfall, turning a lush indoor garden into a real Jurassic Park.

Heckler Singapore has created a sprawling, immersive AR experience that allows visitors to get to know some spectacular dinosaurs from 89 million years ago. The story unfolds across different levels and includes interactive games, rendered in real time, which made it a complex undertaking both from a technical perspective and in terms of storytelling and user experience.

As air travel picks up, the experience conjures a sense of delight and wonder for fliers who have been long grounded by the pandemic. It’s also an exciting return for mixed reality experiences - while virtual spaces have been accelerated by covid lockdowns, AR and MR in shared physical spaces have been somewhat on pause. ​
