About WWII Heritage

The Second World War made a lasting impact in many parts of Europe. Across the whole territory many physical remains, like bunkers, fortifications and other traces can be found in the landscape. However, these remains are often difficult to understand and appreciate. Why were built and why in these locations? How were they used? How can we find out the human stories of the people who built them and occupied them? Using the latest modern technology, such as augmented reality, this app will help you to unlock these secrets to bring the past to life.

Shite.

It's slow, clunky, unresponsive and an insult to the important and easily overlooked history it is meant to inform people about. The descriptions and the pictures are OK but even over Wi-Fi it takes forever to move between them. Links are only accessible by multiple taps, swipes and prods. If you're going to do something like this, pay someone to code it properly.
