Did you know that you can use augmented reality (AR) to take a self-guided hiking tour of our DinoTracks site? From virtual encounters with an Iguanodon to LiDAR to maps of invisible dinosaur footprints, our next Nerd Night will explore the exciting new technology uses in paleontology and education. This two part Nerd Night will start with the official launch of our brand new AR DinoTracks tour (3pm – 5pm) and end with dinner and talks at Ardovino’s Desert Crossing (5:30pm – 7:30pm).
