Virtual Reality in DinoPark: The Mesozoic Era Through Your Own Eyes.

DinoPark Praha, part of the broader DinoPark network operated by WEST MEDIA, s.r.o., aimed to offer visitors a more modern and interactive experience.

The main goal was to replace an outdated VR video with a new, realistic 360° film and at the same time simplify the control system for staff.

Originally, Quanti was approached for the production of a 360° video. Thanks to our proactive offer of a full software and hardware solution, we managed to impress the client and win the entire project.

Solution

We delivered a complete end-to-end solution, including:

360° video production – the core and most extensive part of the project. A realistic simulation of the prehistoric environment was created with a strong educational focus. The script, models, and animations were produced in-house, emphasizing historical accuracy and child engagement.

Pico VR headsets – supplied with full setup and optimization for smooth operation.

Tablet control application ( VR Beamer) – an intuitive interface allowing the operator to start, pause, or reset videos across all headsets simultaneously. The app also provides an overview of device statuses and helps quickly respond to potential issues.

Unity-based software – handles synchronized playback and metadata management within a local network environment.

Result

The first installation of the new system is available to visitors at DinoPark Praha.

Increased visitor engagement – the modern VR video captures the attention of both children and adults.
More efficient operations – the tablet app saves time and reduces the risk of error.
Ready for expansion – the system is designed to be scalable to other DinoPark locations.

Thanks to the new technology, the tour is more attractive, interactive, and significantly easier for the staff to manage.

Challenges
and learnings

The project required collaboration between various teams – from creatives and developers to UX specialists.

‍

Key challenges included:

Historical accuracy – we had to work closely with experts and rely on DinoPark’s reference materials to ensure scientifically accurate models of plants and dinosaurs.
Video synchronization – developing a stable system for simultaneous content playback across multiple headsets.
Performance optimization – the high-resolution 360° video required meticulous performance tuning to ensure smooth and immersive playback.
