Developed in collaboration with Sheffield-based creative agency Human and a team of computer scientists at the University led by Dr Steve Maddock, the AR experience is based on research by University of Sheffield archaeologists on material uncovered from excavations at the castle in the 1920s and 1950s that is currently curated by Museums Sheffield.
