102564Virtual Time BinocularsClosedLaunchpadInnovate UKSmart History will create systems which enable users to harness technology already in their pocket to explore the past in entirely new and exciting ways. Using new innovations that we develop with Innovate UK funding, we will make digital portals that place the user in the centre of historic scenes that are parallel to their real world location. Our Virtual Time Binoculars system will transform the way we explore the past, making 'time travel' a reality. Instead of augmenting today's reality, which is what other companies can do, we instead create rich new parallel realities that transform the way that we relate to the past. Drawing on our experience working with museums, universities, schools, heritage and tourist organsisations, the systems we develop will provide a holistic experience, supplementing what is currently possible in our existing product portfolio of virtual musuems, installations and mobile apps with a new level of mobile virtual time travel, that has two new, core innovations of (1) an integrated live communication system and (2) Mirrorshades, a parallel reality, real time syncing system.
