Scientists at the University of Huddersfield (England) in collaboration with the technology company Ribui are the architects of this program based on the project of Professor Ropert Till to recreate the sounds of the generated acoustic space with the monument and the particularities of the area at the time that Stonehenge had its peak, about 5,000 years.
The project initiated by Till had such detailed 3D modeling has been recreated, including the "Woodhenge," a smaller resort erected near Stonehenge also in the Bronze Age, soon the idea of creating multimedia files that could be enjoyed by the public.
Although it is popularly known for its large stone blocks, they are aligned so that the sun's rays directly coincide with the central axis of the complex at dawn on the summer solstice and winter solstice also has a special meaning.
Archaeological remains found in the area confirm that the monument was also a tribute to the winter solstice -22 December, according to the ancient Druid calendar, when the days are becoming warmer and longer, why recreate the same conditions light of that day in the application.
The result is a program that uses augmented reality to allow users to navigate through the monument as a function of the orientation of your smartphone, listen to the sounds recreated by Till and enjoy the lighting conditions of the winter solstice sunrise.
The program goes a step further by allowing users to move forward in time with only "scratch" on the touch screen mobile phone to check the damage to the monument over the centuries and you can even dig for a look the archaeological remains found in the area.
An application for Apple devices recreates the conditions of light, sound and feel of the prehistoric Stonehenge on the day of the winter solstice, to navigate interactively through the area and the monument shows the evolution over the centuries.
