National Geographic Museum’s “Becoming Jane

Jane Goodall’s amazing and inspiring story is brought to vibrant life with this stunning 3D theater experience that offers a unique opportunity to truly feel what it was like to be Jane as she trekked through the forest searching for the elusive chimpanzees.

The film seamlessly incorporates CG chimps into footage of Gombe Stream National Park that was shot with a virtual reality 360° 3D camera specifically for this experience.

The floor and walls of the theater’s space serve as additional projection surfaces (8K and 10K, respectively), further drawing the guest into Jane’s narrative.
Gombe’s natural sounds, an original score, and Jane Goodall’s voice were produced in 7.1 surround sound to round out the authentic and immersive environment.
