Tunnelworks AR App

The Tunnelworks Augmented Reality (AR) app provides teachers, students, and the wider community with an interactive way to learn about the Thames Tideway Tunnel project. 

The Tunnelworks AR app allows you to explore what is going on underneath London as the Thames Tideway Tunnel is being built. Features of the app include: an interactive Tideway site map, career profiles and an AR 3D model of a Tunnel Boring Machine.

Download and print the TBM poster and then download the Tunnelworks app, point your device camera at the tunnel boring machine in this Tunnelworks poster and watch it come to life in 3D.

You can download the Tunnelworks AR App from Google Play Store (Mobile), Google Play Store (Tablet) or Apple App Store

The app helps young people learn about London's new 'super sewer' to help clean up the River Thames, linking a 'real world' context to science, technology, engineering and maths (STEM) topics covered in the classroom.
