History Through an AR Viewing Scope
Historiscope is an augmented reality (AR) viewing scope that offers users a unique snapshot of history from prominent historical locations. Evolving from the concept of the traditional tourist telescope (or tower viewer), Historiscope doesn't just magnify the present landscape. Instead, it transports users to a specific moment in history relevant to the site, immersing them in the past. Since its launch, Historiscope has been highly successful, receiving positive feedback from heritage sites like Stirling Castle and Urquhart Castle. By blending cultural storytelling with cutting-edge technology, it has enhanced visitor engagement, offering a fresh, interactive way to experience history.
