A new app is helping bring York’s history to life for the smartphone generation.
The England’s Historic Cities app enables people with smartphones and tablets to scan 3D reconstructions and 360-degree panoramas of historic sites such as York Minster as they walk around.
York is one of 12 historic UK cities which has ‘trigger points’ for the new app.
It’s a classic case of old meeting new.
But if it helps more people to appreciate the amazing history all around us in York, we’re all for it.
