Located at the ancient cross roads of Ireland, where the east-west running 'Eiscir Riada' meets the North-South River Shannon, Clonmacnoise can be claimed as Ireland first city. Established as a monastery by St Ciaran in the 7th century, a settlement grew up whicih reached its height between the 9th and 12th centuries, but was subsequent crushed by Cromwellian forces in the 16th century.
RealSIM have created a 3D animation recreating this lost city, and have since created a a GPS guided historical environment app which has been launched on the app store. 
Gavin Duffy will discuss the challenges and lessons learnt during the project including:
- Reconstructing an environmet with minimal archaeological evidence
- the process of compiling a content and process heavy environment onto a small computing device
- the user design process
- The commercial viability of this type of app
