AR hits the Outback!
Earthstory AVX (Augmented Visitor Experience) created this Augmented Reality World War II heritage app to bring Towers Hill to life with a walk-in virtual bunker, explorable virtual artifacts with pop-up information, and a life-size flyover of B-25 Mitchell Bombers!
Visitors to the Towers Hill lookout shelter at Charters Towers, Queensland, Australia can now download the app prior to their visit or via free wi-fi at the Visitors Centre, and then use their own devices on-site to discover and explore highly detailed 3D models and information, and even take a selfie as a WWII pilot or nurse!
This outback heritage location has no electricity or other technology infrastructure available, so we designed tough anodised-aluminium site signage to activate the app's features on visitors' own Apple and Android devices.
