Hologram Zoo brings visitors up close to the animals

It might not be the same as seeing an actual lion or elephant, but these laser-made versions can be both entertaining and educational. 

Advancements in optical technology, software, and sensors continue to bring people places that have been previously unreachable – whether that's a wild animal kingdom, the bottom of the ocean, the top of Kilimanjaro, or to visit friends/family on the other side of the world – augmented reality, virtual reality, and hologram technology will bring people and places together in ways we've never been able to do before. 

Its creator says it's the world's most futuristic animal theme park, using technology that has never been used anywhere else. "There's lots of laughing, lots of screaming… but when the 30-metre whale goes by, for some reason, everyone goes silent like they are in awe and reverence of such a magnificent creature," explains Bruce Dell, the chief executive of Axiom Holographics and creator of Hologram Zoo.
