Protecting nature is critical to the survival of us all. Demand that zoos transform their barbaric practice of holding wild cats hostage into using their infrastructure and support systems to bring immersive experiences of the exotic cats, in the wild, to their visitors. The technology is here NOW to bring wildcats from all around the world into a head mounted display. As we push that tech forward we will be able to create grids of Internet connected, motion sensor 3D cameras, capturing what wild animals do in their native habitats when people aren’t interfering. It’s the best way to be educated and entertained, and the side benefit is that we are protecting wild spaces for them which means clean air and water for us all.

Thanks to a collaboration by the Westfield Shopping Centers, VidPic AR and Big Cat Rescue you can experience lions, tigers, leopards, jaguars, cougars, snow leopards, bobcats, servals, caracals, sand cats, fishing cats & other exotic wild cats like never before.
Just download the VidPic AR app in the App Store or Google Play. It’s free, light weight, downloads fast, and doesn’t ask for your personal data. Then point your camera at any of the gorgeous big cat posters, like the ones below, to see the cats leap off the page as they run, play, swim, eat and bathe. Hear their sounds, see them having fun and learn what they are really like in the wild.
When the mall spaces are manned we provide 3D videos of the sanctuary cats via Oculus Go. Synapse Summit 2020 is where we introduced a lot of new people to our big cats in VR. The results were quotes like: "This is the best experience I've ever had!", "This is the closest I've ever been to big cats!", "This is the most amazing thing I've ever seen!" and so much more.
