I did not want to register to read the rest of this article, so I looked up this National Geographic immersive exhibit and this visual effects company, and I was not disappointed. This exhibit looks amazing, and it is in the heart of Times Square! Having such a nature based experience in the heart of the city sounds like something new and very unique. The exhibit's website describes an immersive and interactive experience, getting toured through deep sea ocean environments. I love that the visitor gets both a tour and to get to explore the exhibit on their own. I also looked at Pixomondo's website, and their team does tons of amazing visual effects – including a whole bunch of full length films, and most notably the Game of Thrones dragons. The advanced technology that Pixomondo has brought to this installation sounds incredible just from the little paragraph shown in this article. It makes me very happy that there is such an amazing and eye catching exhibit about a natural environment. I wish this article had been more easily accessible so I could know more about the technologies and processes put into the creation of this really cool looking exhibit.
