Explore North Norfolk’s Deep History Coast from Weybourne to Cart Gap with the DHC Explorer Augmented Reality (AR) app. Use the GPS map to guide you along the Norfolk Coastal Path and unlock and collect clues to the past (and the present) as you go. With augmented reality you can see how the landscape looked over 750,000 years ago, meet a family of hominins and collect mammoths, scimitar toothed cats, rhino and giant deer for your own virtual ‘tabletop tundra’ collection. Our hominin family Ann, ‘T’, Cess and Orr, will appear at each of the large gateway monolith panels that you’ll find at Weybourne, Sheringham, West Runton, East Runton, Cromer, Overstrand, Trimingham, Mundesley, Walcott, Happisburg and Cart Gap and give you tips on what you can find along each stretch. At West Runton and Mundesley you can collect virtual mammoth bones and build your own Steppe mammoth in the Mammoth Task game. There’s a fossil and flint-finder section that will help you identify any interesting finds you may collect along the coast; You can take a geo-located photo of anything of interest that you find so you can show experts at the museum where you found it. With the Changing Landscapes feature you can discover how the Norfolk coast has changed over millions of years and how it may look in the future.

This is a really useful and fun educational app for exploring the deep past! Really engaging for GPS tracking on your walks along the coastline.Has really cool features of mammoth skeleton building, projecting animals on your tabletop and so on (only suggestion would to make them to realistic scale to one another). Has lots of fascinating historical information that makes us wonder!

Downloaded this as we planned to do some fossil hunting with my little brothers, they loved it! Especially the AR family as they thought my husband hilariously looked like the dad of the family! And the mammoth bone game that kept them entertained on the drive home! Another plus is the app lets you know what the weather/tide will be like when you’re planning your trip!

I had a great day with my family using this app. It kept us all entertained and spirits high, unlike other apps I’ve used in the past, I actually feel like I’ve learnt something!

I’ve downloaded the app and tried to use it at several points along the coast at Sheringham and have got totally nowhere with it. It seems to be very buggy and misbehaves when there’s no signal.I’ve read and re-read the How To Guide in the app and am none the wiser. The Sample AR doesn’t seem to work either.Finally it seems to struggle with my iPhone XS Max as the Menu button in the bottom right-hand corner and virtual home button on the phone get in the way of each other.
