Virtual world to bring Battle of Mount St Bridge back to life

One of the most seminal engagements of the 1916 Rising is being brought to life as a virtual experience so people can experience the Battle of Mount St Bridge as never before.

Researchers at Maynooth University and Trinity College Dublin, in conjunction with the Humanities Virtual Worlds Consortium and The Andrew W Mellon Foundation, have developed a virtual world to allow researchers and members of the public a novel way to understand the engagement.

Contested Memories: The Battle of Mount Street Bridge provides a thoroughly annotated computer model of the site of action as it appeared during Easter 1916.
