More Augmented Reality!
Am working on a proposal to put 10 famous engineering achievements into schools full size or at least enormous.  Following the success of working with an Academy to turn students Olympic ideas into 4 metre high 3D mascots

(Here are the students drawing and the final model displayed full size, as you walk round the model it correctly scales and alters the view so it appears to be really there, 4 metres high)

I have adapted the technology to show examples such as Stephenson's Rocket in a school hall or playground.  I am experimenting with adding info panels, transparent text panels that pop into view as you walk round or rotate the model so students can get more than just a 3D image.

This is displayed half size

As well as this I am working on other projects including these:

• Using an 8 pin PIC as a drum trigger to enable a folding amplified  'box' drum to be created
• Developing a super low cost self propelled cable car kit
• Developing a torsion rod powered vehicle
• Setting up an inter school online competition around 1 hour practical tasks
