This project will use innovative and disruptive augmented reality (AR) to immerse members of the public in their prehistoric heritage. This proof-of-concept project will deliver an immersive audio-visual experience allowing visitors to encounter the hidden history at one of the most important prehistoric sites in Britain. We will combine innovative approaches to archaeological narratives and artistic representation, enabling people to walk back through time at Bryn Celli Ddu Neolithic chambered tomb. Visitors will use their smart phones or tablets to experience the site over the course of its history, peeling back the layers to discover the history of the place and landscape, through which they can move, stop and engage with digital archaeology.Bryn Celli Ddu is a late Neolithic passage tomb, excavated in 1929, now partially and perhaps unsatisfactorily, reconstructed. It is one of the most important prehistoric monuments in northwest Europe, and attracts c.10 000 visitors annually, with considerable implications for the quality of archaeological interpretation provided to members of the public, and significant economic value to Anglesey. The monument and its landscape - the subject of this AR representation - is unique in the complexity of its archaeological remains. The landscape has over 10,000 years of human activity: ranging from Mesolithic hunter gatherers; a causewayed enclosure raised by the earliest Neolithic farmers; a later Neolithic henge, stone circle and passage tomb; associated ceremonial deposition of pottery and polished stone axes; a series of burial cairns; and a landscape of at least 12 prehistoric rock art panels. The complexity of the Bryn Celli Ddu landscape has rightly led to comparisons with Stonehenge.AR, creative visual reconstruction, and sound-art will allow visitors to experience the changing development of this important monument from the deep time of prehistory to the present. It will allow them to interact with three-dimensional textured models of the artefacts from the site whilst standing in the burial chamber, and pull back layers of soil to reveal the buried archaeology. This project will develop and refine the digital technologies and data to provide a rich, textured, immersive experience, within which members of the public can encounter a prehistoric monument in the full complexity of its time-depth and landscape connections. This project will place Bryn Celli Ddu at the centre of the circle of place-memory-performance: the physical remains of the past in its landscape; the cultural memory of artefacts now in museums; and the experience of multi-sensory immersion in the environment.Heritage is often presented to a non-specialist audience as static: the protected site, the conserved object, or the listed building. As a result, both the time-depth of physical heritage, and the connections between artefacts, monuments, places and landscapes are made invisible. Digital technologies allow us to re-immerse monuments and artefacts in their past contexts, and to do so in a manner that provides maximum accessibility to public stakeholders - the very people on whose behalf this heritage is preserved. The project will be delivered bilingually in English and Welsh, targeting one of the Welsh Governments areas of exclusion, and will emphasise visual narratives and audio representations, as ways of telling that move beyond simple dialectic forms of public engagement.By developing the necessary technology and connections between specialists, this project will serve as a proof-of-concept that will be scaled to an appreciation of prehistory nationwide in phase 2 of the call. We will produce a prototype app-based AR system and online VR version to allow access for those who cannot physically visit the site. Evaluation and testing of the system will provide essential information on the challenges and rewards of scaling up the technology to wider applications.

该项目将在其史前遗产中使用创新和破坏性的增强现实（AR）。这个概念验证项目将带来沉浸式的视听经验，使游客能够在英国最重要的史前景点之一遇到隐藏的历史。我们将结合创新的考古叙事和艺术代表的方法，使人们能够在Bryn Celli Ddu Neolithic Chambered Tomb中回去。访客将使用智能手机或平板电脑在其历史过程中体验该网站，剥去层次以发现地点和景观的历史，他们可以通过它们移动，停止，与数字考古互动。BrynCelli ddu是一个晚期的新石器时代墓，于1929年发掘，现在部分而可能不令人满意，重建。它是西北欧洲最重要的史前古迹之一，每年吸引10000 c.10 000次游客，对向公众提供的考古解释的质量产生了很大的影响，对安格莱西的经济价值很大。纪念碑及其景观（该AR代表的主题）在其考古遗骸的复杂性中是独一无二的。景观拥有超过10,000年的人类活动：从中石器时代的猎人收集者到；最早的新石器时代农民饲养的堤道围墙；后来的新石器时代的亨格，石圈和通道墓；相关的陶器和抛光石轴的仪式；一系列埋葬的凯恩斯；以及至少12个史前岩石艺术面板的景观。 Bryn Celli DDU景观的复杂性正确地导致了与Stonehenge的比较。这将使他们能够与站在埋葬室中的遗址中的三维纹理模型相互作用，并拉回土壤层以揭示埋藏的考古学。该项目将开发和完善数字技术和数据，以提供丰富，质感，身临其境的体验，在该体验中，公众可以在其时间深度和景观连接的全部复杂性中遇到史前纪念碑。该项目将把Bryn Celli ddu放置在地点表演圈的中心：过去的景观中的物理遗体；现在在博物馆中对文物的文化记忆；以及多感官沉浸在环境中的经验。经常向非专家受众介绍一个静态的受众：受保护的站点，保守的对象或列出的建筑物。结果，物理遗产的时间深度以及人工制品，纪念碑，地点和风景之间的连接都是无形的。数字技术使我们能够在过去的背景下重新使用纪念碑和人工制品，并以一种为公共利益相关者提供最大可访问性的方式 - 这是保留此遗产的人。该项目将以英语和威尔士的方式进行双语交付，针对威尔士政府的排斥领域之一，并将强调视觉叙事和音频表示，这是说出超越公众参与的简单辩证法形式的方式。开发必要的技术和必要的技术和专家之间的联系，该项目将作为概念验证，将扩展到全国范围内在呼叫的第二阶段中对史前史的欣赏。我们将生成基于应用程序的原型AR系统和在线VR版本，以允许那些无法物理访问该网站的人访问。对系统的评估和测试将提供有关将技术扩展到更广泛应用的挑战和回报的重要信息。
