Millions of years ago, dinosaurs ruled the Earth. Today, "revived" through AI-assisted scientific restoration and high-precision 3D printing, these ancient giants are making their way from China to global markets.

At the Dinosaur Mystery Science Museum in Guangxi, a life-size, 14-meter-long Spinosaurus skeleton replica has become a major attraction. Visitors can use AI-powered interactive terminals to trigger animated reconstructions of dinosaur habitats, explore 3D paleontological models via touchscreens, or put on VR headsets to "travel" back to the Late Cretaceous and interact with T. rex and Triceratops in immersive prehistoric environments.

A Nanning-based animation studio has spent 16 years building a high-definition digital database of more than 800 ancient species, earning recognition both in China and overseas. Last November, 22 of its restoration models passed inspection by the Timiryazev State Biological Museum in Russia, while footprint-themed exhibits are set to be exported to Canada. The studio is also partnering with ASEAN countries on cultural projects that use AI-generated content as a core technology.
