Years ago, royal subjects could imagine the opulence of the British Crown Jewels, but today, augmented reality technology is giving people around the world the chance to appreciate the intricate details and history of the crown more than ever before. Ahead of the coronation of King Charles, Sky News launched an augmented reality experience that lets people see the coronation crown as if it were before their eyes. Using their smartphones, royal fans can enjoy an immersive experience that creates digital twins of the King and Queen Consort's crowns in stunning detail.
Augmented reality technology is making a significant impact on the way people appreciate and interact with meaningful objects—without requiring them to visit a museum. AR makes cultural artifacts, artwork and other important items accessible to view from the comfort of home.
