‘Virtual Time Binoculars: Edinburgh 1544′ provides a unique window into the capital around the time of the birth of Mary, Queen of Scots. Visitors will experience the digital reconstruction through a virtual reality app that hosts a range of virtual reality headset usage, as well as a web resource.

Instead of the new town there stands a great loch yet the castle stands guard over the city much as it does now,” said Sarah Kennedy, Digital Designer of the University of St Andrews’s spinout company Smart History.




“We intend for it to be the first of many Virtual Time Binocular apps with depictions of St Andrews and Perth already in the pipeline,” said Alan Miller, Director of Smart History. “We have had interest from across Europe and Latin America, so we expect our Virtual Time travel platform to go global,” said Miller.
