You can now swim with sperm whales and play with polar bears all in<br>
San Francisco, thanks to virtual reality.<br>
<br>
Aquarium on the Bay at PIER 39 in San Francisco just launched three<br>
new VR and AR exhibits, allowing visitors up close interaction with<br>
whales and polar bears without disturbing the animals.<br>
<br>
The three exhibitions include an interactive sculptural series of 11<br>
different researchers who have changed our understanding of ocean<br>
life, a new virtual reality film theatre, and two AR attractions that<br>
will allow visitors to interact with whales, polar bears, and other<br>
arctic creatures.<br>
