Bringing history into the 21st century.

The development of a new app in order to bring 'history to life' has been discussed.

The app would aim to use audio trails and CGI in order to create a virtual learning environment with all the information about the surroundings held on your mobile device making it easy to access all the information from one point.

If you're interested in this type of interpretation here are two other places that have done something similar:
