## What is Antonine Wall?

This application allows you to explore, and learn more about, the Antonine Wall, part of the Frontiers of the Roman Empire World Heritage Site. The Antonine Wall was a turf defence built by the Romans around 142 AD, across the central belt of Scotland. Today, there are a number of forts and fortlets, a bathhouse, and impressive remains of the ditches and banks within easy reach of towns and railway stations. Download the app and experience 360° virtual reconstructions, ‘handle’ 3D models of artefacts, and explore the sites along the Wall - even from your armchair! 

Features:
* Explore the Antonine Wall in the landscape
* GPS navigation with alert for nearby points of interest
* Augmented Reality: view of POIs in the landscape through the camera module, alternative navigation, 2D image recognition for certain POIs
* Discover and ‘handle’ 3D objects and models 
* View 360° virtual reconstructions
* Download maps and contents to your phone for easy offline usage
* Automatic updates as new sites and content are added

The zoomable OSM map data provides easy access to the content. Both maps and content are available offline (internet connection is not mandatory). Clickable Points Of Interest on the maps start the content on request. 3D models, 360 views, video and audio sequences as well as text-/picture information are provided. An integrated GPS navigation with an alert guides you to the sites. An alternative list view shows you the available content. 

Currently content is available for the Roman fort at Bar Hill. Subsequently more sites along the line of the Antonine Wall will be added. 

The project is co-funded by the Creative Europe programme.

### 3/5 — A bit disappointing

*2017-11-28, version 1.1*

The app was talked up at a museum event I attended and so I was eager to try it, but it did not live up to the hype. Difficult to navigate, many screens to navigate through and very limited content. It doesn’t have all promised content(at the time of this writing the strigil is missing and the ‘AR’ content does not work), and only has a few forts that you can explore. The 3D 360 view is alright, but can not interact with it, ie move forward. The text is good and informative, but there are so many button presses to find out anything and it seems to be patchy information. Looking forward to the next iteration.

### 3/5 — 3D doesn't work

*2017-03-12, version 1.0*

Nice app, very informative but 3D content does not work on iOS
