The Singapore Zoo (Chinese: ?????? ; Malay: 'Taman Haiwan Singapura'; Tamil: ??????????? ????????? ????????????), formerly known as the Singapore Zoological Gardens and commonly known locally as the Mandai Zoo, occupies 28 hectares (0.28 km?) of land on the margins of Upper Seletar Reservoir within Singapore's heavily forested central catchment area. The zoo was built at a cost of S$9m granted by the government of Singapore and opened on 23 June 1973. It is operated by Wildlife Reserves Singapore, who also manage the neighbouring Night Safari and the Jurong BirdPark. There are about 315 species of animal in the zoo, of which some 16% are considered threatened species. The zoo attracts about 1.4 million visitors a year.
From the beginning, Singapore Zoo followed the modern trend of displaying animals in naturalistic, 'open' exhibits, i.e. with hidden barriers, behind moats and shrubbery etc. It also houses the largest captive colony of orangutans in the world. In 1977, primatologist Dr Francine Neago lived inside a cage with eighteen orangutans for six months to study their behavior and communication.

History
Hamadryas baboons by a waterfall
The conception of the Singapore Zoo dates from 1969. At the time, the Public Utilities Board (PUB) decided to use some of its land holdings around reservoirs for parks and open recreational facilities. The then Executive Chairman of PUB, Dr Ong Swee Law, set aside 88 hectares of land for the construction of a zoological garden.
In 1970, consultants and staff were hired, and in 1971, the construction of the basic 50 enclosures started. Animals were collected from dealers and donated by sponsors. The Director of the Colombo Zoo in Sri Lanka, Lyn de Alwis, was hired as a special consultant to work out problems inherent in tropical zoos.
On 23 June 1973, the Singapore Zoo opened its gates for the first time with a collection of 270 animals from over 72 species, and a staff of 130. By 1990, 1,600 animals from more than 160 species lived in social groups, housed in 65 landscaped exhibits with boundaries conceived to look as natural as possible.
Present

Today, the zoo is a model of the 'open zoo' concept. The animals are kept in spacious, landscaped enclosures, separated from the visitors by either dry or wet moats. The moats are concealed with vegetation or dropped below the line of vision. In the case of dangerous animals which can climb very well, moat barriers are not used. Instead, these animals are housed in landscaped glass-fronted enclosures.
The zoo has not expanded beyond the original 28 hectares. However, 40 hectares of secondary forest were later developed into the Night Safari. The remaining undeveloped land has been kept as wooded land. This and the waters of Upper Seletar Reservoir contribute to the Zoo, giving it a sense of natural, unrestricted space.
Among various attractions that the zoo offers,one highlight is the "Breakfast with an Orangutan" programme that allows visitors to meet and interact closely with the orangutans in the zoo, amongst which includes the famous primate matriarch Ah Meng, (died on February 8, 2008) who was an icon of the Singapore tourism industry. Animal shows, as well as token feedings coupled with live commentaries by keepers, are also the daily staple in the Singapore zoo.
Education and conservation
The Wildlife Healthcare & Research Centre was opened in March 2006 as part of the zoo's efforts in wildlife conservation. The centre further underscores Singapore Zoo and Night Safari’s commitment to conservation research, providing the infrastructure for the parks and overseas zoological partners to better execute their research programmes.
The zoo also embarked on various rescue and conservation efforts to protect wildlife.
Rides
White rhinos
The zoo also offers various modes of rides available within the premises: trams, animals, boat, pony and horse carriage rides. Additional modes of transportation which can only be rented include: strollers, wagon and wheelchairs.
Friends of the Zoo
The zoo also has a "friends of the zoo" programme, where people can sign up for a yearly pass which grants them special privileges such as:
* Free and unlimited entry to Singapore Zoo for whole year
* Free Zoo tram rides and parking
* A free quarterly "Wildlife wonders" magazine
* 10% discount at some participating retail outlets
Organizing events
Elephant show and the trainers
There are three event venues available in the zoo, Forest Lodge, Pavilion-By-the-Lake and Garden Pavilion. There are also three cocktail venues, Elephants of Asia, Tiger Trek and Treetops Trail. The Singapore Zoo also facilitates birthday parties and weddings.
Incidents
On 13 November 2008, two of three white Bengal tigers mauled a zoo cleaner to death after the man jumped into a moat surrounding their enclosure.[2]

Watching You Watching Me
In the new surveillance age we live in, everywhere you go you are being watched and your actions are being recorded. Using the same facial recognition technology agencies use to track people in surveillance footage, this interactive art installation will track its patrons and sketch them on the side of a building live. This interactive installation will use cameras and facial detection to sketch/paint the viewers of the installation while they are standing in front of it watching it paint. No actual footage of the patrons will be recorded, retained or sent over the internet. Only the sketches will be saved.
Haley Lussier (10) and Isabella Privitera (10) discuss how they and their small group in Interact club will change the global environment for the better. Every Tuesday during lunch in Mrs. Dhoot's room, they meet together to examine current world issues, and in this smaller group they eventually agree that they want to aid the coastlines and gather litter. "I heard there was a lot of pollution in the ocean and a lot of garbage along the coast, and I want to help he wildlife out there" - Isabella, Interact president.
Creating Interactive Data Visualizations for the Web with the JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit 2.0
The Web has never been more open to everyone. Open Data services exist in almost every web application: from social networking apps to governmental pages and the news, all this data can be instantly accessed by exposed APIs. However, although most of this data is offered in a simple interchange format, its structures are quite complex, ranging from complex networks to time-based information, hierarchical data or heavy graphs. Displaying this data in a manner that enables the viewer to gain some insight can be challenging, especially if we aim at providing some interaction and doing it in a cross-browser/cross-device manner. The JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit creates interactive data visualizations for the Web. It's based solely on Web Standards, leveraging the power of native browser technologies to provide insights on complex data. In this talk you will learn about the JavaScript InfoVis Toolkit and how it can help you create advanced data visualizations for the Web.
Keywords: JavaScript, Visualization, InfoVis, DataVis, VisualWeb
Target Audience: People wanting to create data visualizations for the web using major browsers and platforms.

This retail experience reinvents the traditional retail shoe display. Women’s shoes are arranged on a low table while an interactive spotlight surrounds each shoe. When an intrigued shopper picks up a shoe, they are rewarded with digital information that appears in the space where the shoe was resting. They access comments about the shoe from other shoppers (online and off), hero product photos of the shoe on models, and information about which sizes and alternate styles are available.
In addition to product information, every interaction also creates a visual cascade that spreads out across the whole table. This visual display creates a playful, engaging spectacle that attracts other shoppers to pick up and discover the effect each product creates. It’s an experience shoppers will want to share and recreate with friends and family.

For the St. Regis, an establishment world-renowned for personal service, Potion created a custom interactive bar and tasting table to expand the reach of the Master Sommelier in their newest restaurant.
Working closely with the Rockwell Group and The Map Office to design the overall experience at Adour, Potion’s interactives, constructed from gold and bronze with a goat skin surface, are as far from a traditional touch screen as one can get. Potion’s large-scale interactive projections seamlessly blend with the environment, allowing patrons to browse Adour's complete wine list by wine type, country, and varietal.
Upon selecting a wine, a rosette appears that contains detailed information about the wine’s origin. Sommeliers and patrons alike may share or send their rosettes to other guests at the bar. At the touch-sensitive Private Tasting Table, Potion’s software allows the maitre d’ to create a unique group experience for guests, “setting the table” with personalized wine selection projections. To keep each patron’s experience personal and fresh, Potion created a custom content management system for Adour, allowing the wine director to update the interactive bar on a daily basis or for a special occasion.
