The Virtual Romans App is a location-based virtual reconstruction which seeks to bring some aspects of Roman Leicester (Ratae Corieltauvorum) in the year 210 AD back to life.
It has been developed by De Montfort University in association with Mixed Reality Ltd for Leicesters Jewry Wall Museum with support from Leicester Arts and Museum Service and the University of Leicester Archaeological Services.
You can view a selection of 3D Roman buildings and artefacts using either the map or gallery page.
Having selected a building or artefact, you can learn more about it, see a brooch acting as a compass pointing towards its original location, and view a 3D model.
It you are close enough to the real location an Augmented Reality view is activated that allows you to see the building or artefact overlaid visually on a camera view of the real world.
