It is free entry, so please have a look and sign up (and forward this email to anyone you think may be interested!) It's been relatively quiet, so will make something for midway through November. What could it be? We will see. Hope you have a good one,Tom

Imperial War Museums uses 360 for WWI memorial 

Imperial War Museums (IWM) launched a new 360 experience that revives a never-built national memorial to the British people who died during the First World War. The Hall of Remembrance is its title.

The British government financed the memorial near the end of the First World War, as a gallery for remembrance. Charles Holden designed the hall, and Paul Nash, Stanley Spencer, and John Singer Sargent were commissioned art for the project. However, the hall never came to be.

IoT and AR - How they can work together
