We’re excited by the potential of Augmented Reality (AR) and off the back of the success of Civilisation AR have been busy prototyping a range of experiences that explore the value of this spatial medium.

Give yourself X-ray superpowers and see inside objects and even under your floor. Challenge yourself to walk to the top of the Statue of Liberty or Eiffel Tower by visualising your health data. See the environmental impact your actions have on the world around you. Track down fossils and dinosaurs in your back garden.

We're trialling a range of AR experiences – some of them bringing you the world's most important objects, others exploring interaction with data about you or the world around you.

We want to hear what YOU think about the BBC AR app, so if you’re interested in trialling a beta version for your iPhone, click “try it” above to sign up.
