Cutting Edge Technology and Hands-On Activities bring these Big, Bizarre, and Brand-New Dinos to Life

Forget about the dinosaurs you know– prepare for a whole new breed of beast! Toronto’s The Royal Ontario Museum (ROM) launched the world premiere of Ultimate Dinosaurs: Giants from Gondwana, presented by Raymond James Ltd., one of North America’s leading full-service investment dealers.  In this original exhibition curated, designed, and produced by the ROM, some of the largest and most unusual dinosaurs from the Southern hemisphere make their first stop in Toronto before embarking on an international tour.

Based on new, groundbreaking research from scientists around the world, this exhibition reveals strange-looking dinosaurs unfamiliar to North Americans that evolved in isolation in South America, Africa, and Madagascar.  Ultimate Dinosaurs features cutting edge Augmented Reality (AR) experiences, used in creative ways to bring these specimens to life as never before.  The ROM is the first Museum in Canada to use AR on this scale.  Other innovative technologies are used in the exhibition to illustrate the story of how a dynamic Earth with drifting continents affected the evolution of dinosaurs, from a Southern perspective.

Janet Carding, the ROM’s Director and CEO, states, “This world premiere exhibition offers visitors the opportunity to experience dinosaurs never seen before in the ROM – or anywhere in Canada.  Thanks to the tremendous work done by the Museum’s curatorial and exhibitions staff, visitors will come face to face with these strange species in exciting ways, including cutting edge augmented reality.”
