James May's Science Stories for Android
The App uses the wonders of "augmented reality", as James gives you an overview is his own inimitable style on ten fascinating exhibits from the Museum's "Making of the Modern World" gallery.
Learn about the Model T Ford, the Rolls Royce Merlin engine the world's first X-Ray machine and much more... and make sure you are paying attention, so you get maximum marks in the Quiz!
The App is designed to be useful and suitable for a wide range of ages, and uses a 'marker' to 'trigger' the augmented reality, and whether in the museum or at home, a full explanation on exactly how to do this is included within the App.
To download the 'marker' which 'triggers' the augmented reality for the out of museum experience, please visit the following link at the Science Museum website:

This app is really, really awesome. It's absolutely the kind of thing the Museum should be doing. Unfortunately, I've had to uninstall it as it takes up 50MB on the phone and can't be moved to the SD card... which is really frustrating!
It does not work on my HTC Desire, Android 2.3 system. As soon as the downloading started, an error msg popped out saying that there is no enough memory on the device. Can I get a refund please?
Ever.
This app is great for all the family. It's fun, educational and exciting.
The download for this is huge over 100mb direct to the phone memory. It should do what other apps do and download any data to the sd card when its first run otherwise I can not even download it.
Downloads and works fine on my Samsung S2, James may happily walking round my desk!
Probably ported from I pad, doesn't work very well on android
