DinoGlow: A Jurassic Experience in Science, Technology and Art 3-D Mapping Stegosaurus Designed to Inspire and Educate

T

Ten-year-old Ava Monroe bubbled with excitement as she described her first encounter with a stegosaurus named DinoGlow. “It makes you think out of the box!” she exclaimed. “You would never think a dinosaur could look like that, but when you’re here, you can imagine what it would look like!”

DinoGlow is the newly installed, one-of-a-kind interactive in the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History’s DinoLabs designed to encourage guests to use their imaginations bring possibilities and creativity to life as they learn about the science of paleontology.

“There are some things we know about dinosaurs, but many details we still can’t confirm,” said Cathy Barthelemy, executive director of education. “DinoGlow is a way for guests to create their own vision of what a Stegosaurus might have looked like, by manipulating colors and skin textures using technology.”

“When I was growing up, I remember my mother talking about a lesson she used in her first-grade classroom,” says Amy Romans, conceptual designer of DinoGlow. “She encouraged her young students to use their creativity as they imagined what dinosaurs might have looked like, then drew and colored their dinosaurs. DinoGlow is the 21stcentury version of that lesson with a large dinosaur and projectors.”

DinoGlow is a three-dimensional Stegosaurus sculpture, a blank canvas surrounded by six projectors upon which imagination takes flight. Guests work together or individually to paint with a variety of textures and colors to create a 4

unique Stegosaurus every time. It’s a process that prompts users to contemplate how scientists and paleontologists might search for clues to the past. “It is technology, science and fun,” said Romans.

“DinoGlow started with the idea of a guest experience, which was brought to life by a team of designers, educators and technology experts,” said Dr. Doug Roberts, astrophysicist and Museum chief technology officer. “The combination of innovative technology and creative design is so novel that the Museum will be looking into patenting the experience.”

DinoGlow completes the exciting transformation of the Fort Worth Museum of Science and History’s DinoLabs, which began with the move of Paluxysaurus jonesi, the official State Dinosaur of Texas, to a prominent spot near the Museum entry in 2016. The 20-ton dinosaur now greets guests as they arrive at the Museum. DinoDig remains part of the Museum’s dinosaur experience where budding paleontologists can dig for replica fossils and uncover dinosaur ‘bones’.

Other interactives in DinoLabs include DinoStomp, a multi-screen interactive featuring creatures of the Mesozoic Era. Motion recognition cameras follow and mimic the action of users as they come within range of the screen, prompting the dinosaurs to roar and leap in an imaginary 3D landscape. DinoLand is a mixed reality experience that offers multiple layers of interaction. It is an immersive theater space where guests of all ages can draw and color dinosaurs then use scanners to incorporate their artwork onto a vibrant prehistoric scene projected on a massive wall. It is creative and playful, and it evokes an aesthetic of paper dolls, dioramas, puppetry and origami.

“For the past decade, the Museum has been exploring ways to move deeper into the digital age,” says board member Dick Russack. “Our current Planetarium show is a great example of our effort. Another is DinoGlow, which takes us back to our roots with a digital spin to create interactivity with our guests.”

“The Museum’s vision involves creating 21st-century learning environments,” said Dr. Anthony Edwards, board mem-

ber and chair of the Museum’s Technology Committee. “The Museum has to continue to lead the conversation around new ways technology can be used to facilitate learning inside and outside the classroom. DinoGlow is a sign of great steps to come in showcasing the Museum as a leader among museums in integrating technology into exhibits.”

The DinoLabs experience fosters an understanding of earth sciences, geology and even conservation through the story of the dinosaur, which plays a vital role in learning and discovery. DinoGlow complements the gallery as a collaborative experience that encourages social learning among generations.

“DinoGlow and the renovation of DinoLabs as a whole represent our future,” said Van Romans, Museum president. “It is really a way to enhance learning. It provides a new kind of guest experience that is an artful use of technology to explore science and encourages guests to work together and explore new ways of looking at and thinking about the Museum’s inspiring collections.”

West is Among the Best for Culture and Shopping-and-Dining Delights

A

by Michael H. Price

As long as we’re “out where the West begins,” as an iconic figure in Fort Worth’s history described this Cowtown, then we might as well look even further westward within the city itself. Pioneering publisher and civic booster Amon Carter may have intended to give Dallas the razz when he coined that phrase — but the West hardly could have picked a keener starting point than Fort Worth.

And Fort Worth, in turn, hardly could have picked a site more right for its burgeoning west side Cultural District. Rippling with heavy-duty commercial, artistic and residential growth since the dawn of the 21st century, the west side overall has seen its very skyline change with the transformation of a busy West Seventh Street into a streamlined conduit connecting the downtown area’s Sundance Square development with the Cultural District. Heading west (naturally) from downtown Fort Worth, one finds the Cultural District radiating from the intersection where Seventh Street crosses University Drive and, in the process, morphs into the historic, brick-paved Camp Bowie Boulevard.

Visitors in search of western-style discoveries — from plain-and-fancy dining to fine art and varied entertainment — will find such delights in volume on the west side.

Cultural attractions, restaurants, mainstream and special-interest shopping, and lavish natural gardens flourish as a reminder of how Fort Worth has built upon its frontier origins. Several of the world’s finer museums, playhouses and galleries anchor a vast Cultural District. The hand-laid red-brick pavement of Camp Bowie Boulevard is an attraction in itself, lined with an everexpanding array of art galleries, stage-andscreen auditoriums, boutiques, scholarly museums, restaurants and lounges, and shopping malls.

The Cultural District The Fort Worth Museum of Science & History, commands the westward view of the district from Montgomery Street and just northward are additional cultural touchstones: Designed by renowned architect Philip Johnson, the Amon Carter Museum of American Art, houses a definitive collection of American paintings, photography, and sculpture. The collection spans early nineteenth-century art to mid-twentieth century modernism. It is also home to nearly 400 works by Frederic Remington and Charles M. Russell. Near by is the Kimbell Art Museum still living up to Newsweek’s description as “arguably the most beautiful museum in America” including its new Renzo Piano Pavilion addition. The neighboring Modern Art Museum of Fort Worth is the oldest such museum in Texas — housed in a workof-art 2002 building designed by worldrenowned Japanese architect, Tadao Ando, and featuring bold gallery exhibitions, concert attractions and, every weekend, leading-edge independent-studio films.

The Museum of Science & History, anchoring a campus within the Cultural District, has been designed by similarly renowned architects Ricardo and Victor Legorreta. Inside the Museum of Science & History, one finds vast galleries of Texas-bred dinosaur specimens and the state’s oil-and-gas heritage, in addition to the Cattle Raisers Museum, the Fort Worth Children’s Museum, Stars Café, and a new digital Noble Planetarium. The Omni Theater, an IMAX® superscreen dome, links with the Museum of Science & History and boasts a new digital sound system and enhanced lighting.The National Cowgirl Museum & Hall of Fame is next door to the FMS&H.

those who have lived and worked on ranches or who led an expedition, or sat before an easel, aimed a rifle and hit the bull’s eye, or sat on the Supreme Court.

When the museum meanderings trigger an appetite for fine dining, two long-established, museum-based cafés stand ready to serve. The Kimbell Buffet Restaurant offers indoor or patio lunch and a light evening menu within one of the most beautiful modern buildings in America. The Modern Art Museum’s 250-seat Café Modern, with an outdoor terrace, overlooks a serene reflecting pond. The Modern’s full-service kitchen delivers superb cuisine for lunch, Sunday brunch, and scheduled seasonal dinners.

The Great Outdoors offers breakfast subs, lunch and dinner subs, soups, salads and all natural ice cream. Off University on White Settlement Road, a Texas barbecue tradition reigns at Angelo’s, offering a half-century of first-class BBQ and ultra-chilled beer.

The Fort Worth Community Art Center, at the district’s western edge, showcases work by the city’s homegrown community of artists, in addition to live-theater venues.

Neighboring the museum community is the city’s landmark Will Rogers Memorial Center, a versatile 85-acre entertainment complex — with 45 acres housing the Will Rogers Coliseum & Auditorium. Its majestic Pioneer Tower dates from the Texas Centennial Celebration of 1936. Still the most imposing site within the district, the coliseum holds pride of place as the first domed structure of its kind in the world. The complex also boasts an equestrian center and exhibit halls, home to the annual Fort Worth Stock Show and Rodeo.

Showplaces of Heritage and Artistry and Nature Shoppers can find a broad selection of merchandise in the Cultural District’s specialty shops. European antiques and upholstery can be found at Domain XCIV and the dh collection boasts progressive furniture designs in an appetite-whetting environment.

Southward off University Drive, visitors can experience the glories of nature at Trinity Park, a pristine oasis bordered by a fork of the placid Trinity River. Here, picnickers, joggers, and strollers can explore meandering pathways or travel on a miniature railroad. Opposite the park, across University Drive, Fort Worth’s Botanic Garden beckons — the oldest such site in Texas, a lush 109-acre tapestry of dappled shade accented by vibrant splashes of color.

The Garden is home to thousands of species of native and exotic plants in 21 specialty gardens. The European-designed Rose Garden features more than 3,400 roses, and the 10,000-square-foot Conservatory houses tropical flowers and foliage from around the world. An on-site Gardens Restaurant serves light lunches and refreshments — with a view of the Garden and a varied gallery that often displays the work of local artists. Adjacent to the Botanic Garden is the Botanical Research Institute of Texas (BRIT) whose mission is to “reduce its footprint on the natural world as well as protect and restore ecosystem services.”

BRIT’s building was designed as an example of how much of this can be accomplished.

A short distance southward lies the illustrious Fort Worth Zoo, nationally ranked among the finest. The Zoo is home to thousands of animals, both native and exotic.

Viewing facilities and natural habitat exhibits are set up for optimal views of the animals, often separated from their observers by only a river, a waterfall, or a large window.

Shaded rest spots and picnic tables are available, with several on-site eateries.

Across from the Zoo, Log Cabin Village offers another view of the city’s rich frontier history boasting seven authentic log homes, dating from the mid-to-late 1800s. Perioddressed interpreters greet visitors inside each cabin offering a living history of the home and its origin.

The mood to explore might be triggered by art, dining, shopping, or the wonders of nature. Fort Worth’s west side meets all these interests and then some!

Key Points of Interest

Amon Carter Museum OF AMERICAN ART -

Designed by renowned architect Philip Johnson (1906–2005), the Amon Carter Museum of American Art houses a preeminent collection of American art including painting, sculpture, and works on paper. The collection spans early nineteenth-century expeditionary art to mid-twentieth century modernism and includes masterworks by artists such as Frederic Church, Stuart Davis, Arthur Dove, Thomas Eakins, Winslow Homer, Georgia O’Keeffe, and John Singer Sargent. The museum is one of the nation’s major repositories of American photography and holds the archives of luminaries such as Nell Dorr, Laura Gilpin, Eliot Porter, and Karl Struss.
