History lovers, this one's for you. If you're looking to explore the history of Dublin's Docklands, Dublin City Council is launching a brand new app "Doors into Docklands".
This mobile app includes immersive trails that use augmented reality (AR) to merge the old and the new, combining history and technology to guide the user in the discovery of some of the Docklands' most loved sites and attractions. The public can uncover compelling stories of Dublin’s culture, heritage, and history.
You can experience the Guinness barges sailing down the River Liffey, the Crimean Banquet held in the CHQ, and the story of the famine statues. Along the trail, you can see the "history come to life with a 360-degree view of the Custom House fires blazing in 1921, the Scherzer Bridges in 2D animation and Port workers in the Diving Bell toiling at the bottom of the sea.
