OUR FAVOURITES
4 new apps we love
This week we’re taking a trip to Mars using augmented reality (AR), catching up on the latest must-reads with a famous face, bringing museum exhibits virtually to our living rooms, and diving into delicious recipes to make our mid-week meals more exciting.
Mission to Mars AR
Using augmented reality, Mission to Mars AR lets you take an interactive look at the Perseverance rover on Mars. Drive it around and bring the mission to life through AR experiences, learn more about the planet Mars and have a go at landing your own rover in the app’s nail-biting simulator.
Museum Alive
If, like us, you’re missing going to museums, then this is for you – Museum Alive brings the exhibits to life in AR so that you can learn about history from home. And if that wasn’t brilliant enough, Sir David Attenborough acts as your personal guide, narrating you through the stunning visuals, telling the story of each object.
Reese’s Book Club
Calling all bibliophiles! Reese Witherspoon’s global book club now has an app. Evolving from social media, Reese’s Book Club highlights the actor’s monthly book picks and houses a community space where users can discuss the title and share their favourite reads. Celebrate moments in fiction and discover new authors with like-minded people.
