Wythenshawe Community Housing Group, who home the Wow Zone, have appointed Dr Timothy Jung to develop an augmented reality application with a group of young people, aged eleven to sixteen, to celebrate immigration to Wythenshawe. 

The group will explore oral histories from residents, to gain insight to their diverse community.  Dr Timothy Jung’s ‘Creative AR VR Hub’ will facilitate content creation.  This may include audio/video interviews, graphics, photography, illustrations, artwork, 3D elements and other creative responses.

This will contribute towards a two month long exhibition at the National People’s History Museum, celebrating ‘Roads to Wythenshawe’.

Nigel Wilson, Group Chief Executive Officer said, “Our young people are keen to learn about Wythenshawe’s heritage and this is a fantastic opportunity to develop their digital and creative skills.  The project will foster both a greater sense of pride in where they live and of cohesion within the community.”
