Skin & Bones

The signs implied you could hold up the app to select skeletons (with the green logo) and see a VR with the skin on. But all it allowed us to do was play videos.

My 6 year old loves it! Bummer is some of the videos for the featured animals do not play. All you get is a black screen.

It’s very useful when you visit the museum of natural history. Better bring your ear phones.

Loved the idea of using augmented reality. The app is so bloated with videos that it takes too long to load anything. The UI needs to be streamlined to be easier and faster to use. Too clunky.

My kids loved it. Only need it for about 15 minutes. The ones that just showed the skins were very cool. The kids actually jumped when they saw the Mandrin.

Unfortunately the user interface is so big and clunky you never have a chance to see the entire skeleton. A "full screen" mode would bump this app up to 4 stars.

Happy to run into this app from The Smithsonian. I was unable to visit the museum, but could actually use the AR from my iPhone pointed at my iMac's screen (with f.lux running to boot!). I think the application may look better on larger phone. The screen is too cluttered on a 5S as the menu bar never disappears, not even for movies!

It crashed twice, autoplayed sound one time, and one overlay was very finicky in how I placed it - I quickly gave up. The concept is interesting, but it needs more testing.
