Life is grand

A bunch of lads from the TSSG have created a world-first GPS powered tour-guide for the Culloden battlefield in Scotland. What really impresses me about the project is how the technology will enable people to roam the battlefield without seeing a single sign-post, information plaque or unsightly direction marker. We have all been to historical areas and seen bright green plastic information posts next to 1000 year old sites. This information system does away with that and leaves no mark on historical sites while providing information and insight into what the person is seeing.

Good work lads and I look forward to visiting Culloden the next time I am up in Scotland, birthplace of my forefathers.
