An augmented reality campus tour bringing UCL's scientific achievements to life!
UCL Storyscape is UCL's first augmented reality storytelling app, designed to give users an augmented reality campus tour of UCL Bloomsbury as part of the Festival of Engineering in July 2024. The experience features 10 geo-located points of interest around campus, celebrating the history of Engineering at UCL via interactive animated 3D models, audio guides and interviews with leading researchers. It showcases the ground-breaking work that the engineering department has produced over the past 150 years, as well as highlighting how the latest research impacts industry and the wider world around us.

https://www.petra1929.co.uk/places.htmlThe illustrations included in this website are listed here, by the pages in which they appear, with links to each page or section. The majority of the photographs have been newly digitised over the duration of this project from negatives in Box 13 of the Horsfield archive at the UCL Institute of Archaeology.
The negatives were in negative books labelled in pen with the dates of photography. Indexes with Agnes Conway's handwritten annotations in the front of each book indicated the subject of the negatives contained in each numbered negative folio. References to each negative are given as [Box]/[Neg book]/[Neg folio]. The captions listed below are primarily based on the information given in these annotated indexes.
