Launch of augmented reality project set to bring new life to historic Bath and other UK sites
‘England’s Historic Cities’ app, a ground-breaking AR experience, was launched on 31st March to celebrate English Tourism Week and will transport the user back in time to unveil the hidden lives of some of history’s most fascinating characters at The Roman Baths.
The premise of the app is to capture significant historic moments in time whilst providing tourists the opportunity to explore England’s most historic cities.
In Bath, the latest technology will help you unravel the history of the Roman Bath’s gradual discovery and evolution. With the app you can unearth the fascinating past of the Roman Baths and rediscover the ancient curiosities that lie just beneath the surface by joining one of the Bath’s most remarkable architects – Major Charles Edward Davis.
The exciting new project is one of a number of projects to benefit from the by the £40 million Discover England Fund – a central government funded programme of activity administered by VisitEngland supported by match-funding from private and public partners.
