News / Geopark app
Geopark Shetland is working with an Irish IT specialist to create a map-based app for Android and iPhone to tell the story of the islands’ diverse and dramatic geology.
The project is one part of a two-year partnership with three other European Geopark areas jointly exploring the use of new technologies in heritage interpretation.
Geopark Shetland has been given £63,000 through the EU Leader programme to participate in the Heritage Interpretations using New Technologies (HINT) project. More info at: www.hintproject.eu
Project officer Robina Barton said she was keen to hear from anybody who would be willing to volunteer for testing the new app.
She can be contacted at Shetland Amenity Trust or by e-mail to robina@shetlandamenity.org
