Hi Julie This was a timely question for me. I’m in Athens at the moment teaching a British Council ‘International Museum Academy’ course for Greek museum professionals on digital skills and literacies. Last night we had a wonderful guest speaker from the University of Athens, Dr Maria Roussou, who told us about the ‘Emotive’ EU project they’re working on, which is exploring ways of connecting visitors to heritage sites (particularly ones where the current remains require imagination!) through emotive storytelling techniques, supported by digital. One of the partners in that project is Glasgow’s Hunterian Museum and the example we workshopped yesterday was looking at the Antonine Wall site – again a Roman site that’s pretty much just a grassy ditch these days. So, this isn’t a recommendation for a company but there’s really interesting thinking going on around exactly your challenge in this project so you might find it interesting to read about what they’re doing. They’re very open with the resources and material they’ve developed so far, including a couple of free-to-use digital prototyping tools that you could try out ideas with. Their website is here: http://emotiveproject.eu/about.php and there’s specific info about the Antonine Wall element here: http://emotiveproject.eu/cms/?p=202 All the best, Anra Anra Kennedy Content & Partnerships Director Culture24 Direct line: 01273 523985 Follow: @anrakennedy The Company: www.WeAreCulture24.org.uk<blocked::http://www.weareculture24.org.uk/> We Lead: www.MuseumsAtNight.org.uk<http://www.museumsatnight.org.uk/> - The annual festival of late night arts, culture & heritage.

Ideally I'd like the visitor to be able to carry this outside either for I pads or phones or something so that they can take a virtual tour, pointing the device at a piece of land and the building etc. that would have been there popping up with an explanation about it. Has anyone had similar work done and who can you all recommend?
