This Unimersiv App is very interesting and is similar to my idea. By downloading the free version I was able to walk around Stonehenge and learn about its history. I was even able to turn back the clock to see what Stonehenge looked like before it was finished and just after it was finished. There was also a voice over that talked you through the stages of construction and how we think the monument was built. The main problem I found with this app was at first there are very limited options were you can explore. With the free version you get to explore Stonehenge but that is it, even with paying for the added expansions you really only get to go to the Colosseum in Rome and the International Space Station. Also even though the programme does teach you about how the monument was built and what its purpose was, that’s really were the learning and teaching stops.

After exploring this app I can take a lot from it to improve my idea. Firstly I will use the voice over guide to take people through the experience. Also I will include a text-base learning experience so people can also read the information if they prefer to. Also I will include a lot more locations and events withing my experience. I will allow the user to explore most areas of History rather than a few monuments. The free explore option on this app is also very useful and interesting. This mode allowed the user to explore in their own way and even walk a far distance away to see what the monument looks like from a far. I will incorporate this mode into my idea as it allows the user to learn and explore at their own pace.
