1997 Zoo Atlanta developed an experience that allowed middle schoolers to become gorillas for a short while in a Virtual Reality (VR) experience. At that time, this technology was still in its early stages, but with more widespread commercial use, these experiences
can become breath-taking. In a zoo setting, VR experiences could have all the characteristics of a keeper’s talk: introducing the species and communicating welfare and conservations messages to the wider public. According to Moss and Esson (2010) visitors
spend about a minute to observe animals in an exhibit, and even that minute is dependent on the species, where charismatic or active mammals are highly preferred by visitors. With a VR experience 3-5 minutes long, animals could get undivided attention from
visitors, while the zoo would have the opportunity to send specific messages.</em></span></span><br style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
<span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><span style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"><em>I will conduct a research in Edinburgh Zoo early next year to evaluate whether visitors like this method of education and
how it might impact their behaviour regarding the issues raised in the experience. </em></span></span><br style="font-family: Calibri, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">
