Description

What did Civilisations AR?

Many gaming applications have been developed over the years, from simulations to action games that are primarily popular with individuals. As we are accustomed to these kinds of game applications, developers tried to do something more unique and distinctive from other themes and genres of games.

The Civilisations AR was launched on March 1st 2018. It was developed by the BBC and also became their very first AR app. The acronym "AR" also stands for 'augmented reality," which technically means a system that transposes a computer-generated graphic on a user's vision of reality, resulting in a hybrid perspective.

Now, the Civilisations AR works just like a real museum. In this application, you will be taken over. You can roam virtually to thirty (30) museums located in Britain, from the classic Egyptian era to the National Museum of history and other artifacts that contributed significance and importance to our world.

Through Civilisations AR, you may gaze at beautiful treasures, exhibits, antique stuff, and heritage from across the globe in the comfort of your home, while walking, and even at your school.

The artifacts and exhibits you will see upon using and playing the Civilisations AR are mostly three-dimensional (3D) scanned artifacts from the British museum collections. The developers use a three-dimensional (3D) effect for you to feel like you are personally exploring the museum.

One feature that the Civilisations AR has is that the three-dimensional (3D) artifacts are brought to reality by the "magic spotlights" function, which shows auditory areas and unique capabilities such as interpreting ancient Egyptian pictographs on the Rosetta Stone or an X-ray function that can see through artifacts.

The Civilisations AR introduces a new and diverse reality for historian individuals like you. Upon playing the app, you will be redirected to our globe, and you can choose which museum artifact you want to explore. By moving and scaling through the screen, you will be able to walk around, zoom in and zoom out of exhibits, and even get a sight of what's inside the artifacts that you may see.

You can also take important notes, and just like a real museum experience, you will hear a travel voice guide that may explain what exhibit you are looking at. The Civilisations AR is also an interactive gaming application wherein you can test your history knowledge and be up for the challenge of translating hieroglyphics or Egyptian pictographs into the Rosetta Stone.

Fantastic, right?

Civilisations AR is developed for the entertainment and educational uses of the students and universities who wish to visit museums virtually.

The Civilisations AR is a project worked together by BBC Arts, Culture and Entertainment, BBC R&D, Nexus Studios Laboratory, and over thirty (30) museum institutions and art exhibitions from throughout the United Kingdom. Civilisations AR application is a collaborative effort made by historians and other artifacts discoverer to bring and develop a virtually yet interactive game of walking through the history using your phone.
