Vaguely, it keeps the dinosaurs located in defined zones. It also allows the Gyrosphere to maintain safe distance automatically.
One has to wonder what this is, how it works, and to what extent is it used across the park?
I can infer the following, with a bit of speculation thrown in:
Each dinosaur is tagged or more likely chipped, allowing GPS tracking of each animal down to the inch. There is also EMF cast between hidden beacons that essentially creates the map of a particular dinosaur's zone. Linked to some function of each dinosaur's tag/chip, if one attempts to pass through the invisible barrier, it is "encouraged" in some way to stay within its zone. The EMF could be strong, so it feels like an uncomfortable force pushing back against any tagged/chipped animal trying to pass through the invisible barrier.
The Gyrosphere vehicles are also linked to these barriers and are fully aware of them, their borders, and the paths around them.
In theory, it sounds like a plausible way to keep relatively docile herbivores coralled in designated areas.
Do they use something similar along Creataceous Cruise to keep Suchomimus, Baryonx, Metriacanthosaurus, and who knows what else away from the kayaks? This, to me, is one of the most brilliant innovations at Jurassic World that has yet to be fully explained.
The Gyrosphere will most likely have invisible fences, but they're disabled somewhere in the movie, as we see multiple Apatosaurus, Stegosaurus, and Triceratops running together, as seen here-
However, the Cretceous Cruise may or may not have these.
Notice the Apatosaurus and Stegosaurus aren't together, and all the dinosaurs are on the left side. However, on Instagram I saw a saftey poster saying not to exit the kayaks, with an Apatosaurus foot above someone standing on their kayak.
