"Although it's still the number one destination in the country to see weird stuff that the Victorians taxidermied, the Natural History Museum has been quietly getting into cutting edge technology in recent years, with the launch of its Visions of Nature AR experience and immersive film Our Story with David Attenborough. Now it takes a further step into the 21st century via a new collaboration with the popular international virtual gaming chain Sandbox VR (which has three branches in London)."
"Age of Dinosaurs is a brand-new virtual reality adventure that has been created in collaboration with the museum and palaeontologist Darren Naish. Specifically aimed at a younger audience, it'll see players visit 15 different locations throughout the Jurassic and Cretaceous period, where they'll encounter some of the most scientifically accurate dinos ever depicted in any medium. It's an exploration game, that seems profoundly unlikely to give you the opportunity to zap a T-rex with anything more than a camera."
The Natural History Museum has partnered with Sandbox VR to create Age of Dinosaurs, a virtual reality adventure developed with palaeontologist Darren Naish. The experience targets younger audiences and sends players to 15 locations spanning the Jurassic and Cretaceous periods. Players will encounter highly scientifically accurate dinosaur representations and engage in exploration rather than combat, with interactions limited to observational tools like a camera. Visuals aim to faithfully recreate Mesozoic environments. The experience will launch across Sandbox VR’s more than 60 global locations in 2026, with the specific date to be announced.
