Contested Memories: The Battle of Mount Street Bridge 3D visualisation project created a virtual world utilising Unity 3D as a means to better understand this iconic battle of the Easter Rising. Funded by the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation, and created in partnership with the Humanities Virtual Worlds Consortium, the project explored how to use 3D technologies in answering research questions that cannot be addressed using more traditional methods and approaches.
This follow-on project, funded by PRTLI5, builds on previous work to develop a mobile application to be used at schools as an Augmented/Mixed reality application implementing image recognition to trigger multimedia content related to the battle. We are seeking a developer to join a project team that includes individuals with expertise in history, user testing and evaluation, digital heritage, and interaction design to collaboratively design the Augmented Reality App.
This position provides an exciting opportunity for a creative and dedicated individual to contribute to the development of a novel way of teaching and learning by using emerging technologies combined with physical interactions. The App (mobile Web, Native or Hybrid) will be delivered for iOS and/or Android operating systems.
Maynooth University is committed to a strategy in which the primary University goals of excellent research and scholarship and outstanding education are interlinked and equally valued.
