See BBC Civilisations artefacts in your home

摘要

An Egyptian mummy (pictured), a sundial from the world's first railway station and Rodin's The Kiss sculpture are among 41 artefacts that you can see in augmented reality (AR) in a new app to accompany BBC2's Civilisations series. The Civilisations AR app,available for free for Android and iOS, places 3D images on the view of the world that you see on your phone or tablet screen. This lets you see the objects as though they were in your front room.Using the X-Ray feature you can see 'inside' an artefact, revealing what's hiddenbeneath the surface of a painting, for example. There are also audio guides, and aRestore tool that shows you what the object looked like when new.
