DEPT® technology brings artwork of King Charles to life in partnership with the BBC’s Children in Need
DEPT® is bringing augmented reality to King Charles III’s coronation, in partnership with BBC’s Children in Need and the Royally Big Portrait.
Awe-inspiring
Sam Barnett, the artist leading the project, said: “I am proud to be a part of The Royally Big Portrait – celebrating King Charles’ coronation as well as each child’s creativity, whilst giving them the self-belief to achieve and be a part of history. DEPT®’s ability to bring stories to life through emerging technologies has enabled people up and down the country to experience this statement portrait of King Charles. What DEPT® has created through augmented reality using the children’s portraits is awe-inspiring when you experience it.”
Lauren Chester, Director of Tech Projects at DEPT®, said: “We are thrilled to be involved in this exciting project, which marks an historic moment for the country. Using AR we were able to provide utility and democratise this moment by enabling everyone at home to experience this through their smartphone and have the joy of finding and seeing their own portrait’.
