For so many years, children’s park in Guindy has been attracting many visitors through its rich varieties of animals, birds etc.
Now, this amazing park located at the heart of Chennai has started an augmented reality show or AR for the public on 25th of December 2019. The sensational news is on the first day itself as many as 490 persons watched this AR show here.
Images of the viewers, especially children, were projected on the screen in front of them and this resulted in laughter and cheers.
It is said that the children’s happiness peaked when the projected images of the visitors touched the animations of animals like tiger, chimpanzee, kangaroo, penguin, giraffe, white panda, dolphin, cheetah, dinosaur and anaconda etc. It was later mentioned by C.H. Padma, Chennai wildlife warden, that it was a different experience for the visitors at the children’s park.
