Singapore Zoo launches mobile trail for students

Trips to the Singapore Zoo have now gone digital, with the launch of a Chinese mobile interactive trail for school students.
Featuring location-based and image-recognition technology, the trail will create new learning activities for children at the zoo.
Instead of park guides and worksheets, trail participants will be equipped with specially configured smart phones.
Pre-loaded content will be triggered by the phones' Global Positioning System (GPS) as they move around the park.
Upon arriving at a particular exhibit, the mobile phones will come alive with specific instructions prompting participants to look for a specific object within an animal enclosure.
Taking a picture of the correct object will unlock embedded interactive content related to the specific animal at the exhibit.
The program is currently open only to school groups.
