Walking with Hall

The Walking with Hall app

Created in collaboration with game designer Antonino Frazzitta and undergraduate students at the University of Birmingham, Walking with Hall guides users to follow in Hall's footsteps, allowing visitors to explore the rich history of Hall’s time on campus and the wider city of Birmingham. With chapters tailored to the unique landscape and history of each location, the aim is to reveal the intensely local influences of the worlds Hall inhabited, and the import of this for his own global thinking and impact. 

An app version of Walking with Hall that uses GPS to guide users around the University of Birmingham campus is downloadable here (Android-only). Users of the app can move an avatar on their smartphones around the University of Birmingham campus to ‘unlock’ narratives and reimagine the campus as it was 50 years ago, including a 3D augmented reality model of the old main library.

A static, web-based version of Walking with Hall can be accessed remotely below and includes an expansion into Birmingham's city centre.
