We had the great privilege of working alongside @atlantic.productions on sound design and music for this exciting project honouring role model engineer Alice Kan. The statue has been designed by artist Kelly Anna, alongside a new digital artwork entitled #EngineeringRoleModels and commissioned by the Royal Academy of Engineering. The Augmented Reality experience activates the statue where users can explore interactive hotspots to learn about Alice’s journey as an engineer, including her crucial work manufacturing the COVID-19 vaccine. #nationalengineeringday #augmentedreality
