Dinosaur Museum

About this app

This free educational application is in fact a nice collection of thirty high-resolution pictures of dinosaurs and prehistoric marine/ flying reptiles. Suitable for people of any age, this virtual museum allows the exploration of the most interesting species that lived during the Triassic, Jurassic and Cretaceous periods; you can find out their exact location and age, along with some of their distinct body features. Each page of the museum displays a unique prehistoric animal; you can zoom in, zoom out and translate a little its current image. If there are orientation sensors, a gyroscopic effect will be present all the time, slightly rotating the image in accordance with your moves. This app is mainly designed for tablets (landscape orientation), but it works fine on the modern phones too (Android 5 or newer).

How it works

The intro page contains four small buttons: Play, Settings, Favorites and Information.

Play starts your visit to our museum, a place where each page displays a unique prehistoric animal. There are three navigation buttons at the bottom: Left, Right and Up/down - which are self-explanatory. The upper-left one, Home, sends you to the intro page, while the upper-right one, About, displays a short description of the current dinosaur. Also, you can zoom in, zoom out and translate a little the current image. If there are orientation sensors, a gyroscopic effect will be present all the time, slightly rotating the image in accordance with your moves. All of these buttons fade away within a few seconds; a double or a long tap, anywhere on the screen, shows them back.

Settings displays the settings page; there are a few options you can enable or disable: text to speech, background music, gyro effects and the names of dinosaurs. Also, you can set the volume of the background music and the opacity of the navigation buttons.

Favorites shows you the list of all our applications listed on the Google Play store, while Information displays this description page.
