The iPhone app Dublin City Walls is a virtual tour guide of a kind that could transform our experience of historical sites
YOU KNOW the way you sometimes go to visit a historical site and when you find it there’s just a bump in the ground or a pile of stones – and that, pretty much, is that? Those who are trained in matters historical can get their imagination into gear and fill in some of the gaps. But for the rest of us it can be a somewhat underwhelming experience.
A new iPhone app promises to revolutionise the way we interact with our heritage sites. Dublin City Walls uses high-resolution graphics, 3D imaging, video and GPS technology to bring the marvels of medieval Dublin right into the palm of your hand. – The Irish Times
If only I had an I-Phone. 🙂
The pressure to buy an iphone increases once again and this time the Dublin Vikings are to blame.
