Finni-App
Finni for home - the app to the skeleton
Finni, the fin whale, has an exciting story to tell - and has been at home in the Museum of Nature - Zoology exhibition since April 2017. For reasons of space, his vertebrae and bones are lined up on the shelf behind his imposing skull, but they already give a good impression of the imposing size of this marine mammal. Those who would like to admire Finni "in one piece" can do so with the free Finni app.
Download at Google Play (ANDROID)
Please set the "VR" option to "OFF". The app can display Finnis' skeleton as well as its external appearance in 3D. This allows you to view and explore the whale from all perspectives at your leisure. If you tap on one of the bones or vertebrae, you will also learn the Latin name of the respective bone. More information about Finni's history and background on whaling can be found in the app as well as here: The story of our fin whale Finni (PDF). We would like to thank Absolute Software GmbH for their support.
