The AR APP "Timescape : Kolkata" is developed by ........
(i) University Liverpool
(ii) Jadhavpur University
(iii) British Library
(iv) Kolkata University
(v) Mellon foundation
Codes :
Answer: C
The augmented reality app Timescape : Kolkata was developed by the University of Liverpool, Jadavpur University and the British Library, which is code (i), (ii) and (iii).
It came out of a UK-India partnership supported by the UK-India Education and Research Initiative. The project lead was Nandini Das of the University of Liverpool, with Supriya Chaudhuri of Jadavpur University and a curator from the British Library. It was launched at the Victoria Memorial Hall, Kolkata, in November 2015. The phone's GPS picks a nineteenth-century photograph, many of them from the British Library collections, and overlays it on the camera view at over a hundred places in the city. The paper spells the university as 'Jadhavpur'.
The other items do not fit. Reports on the app name Liverpool, Jadavpur and the British Library as its makers and mention neither a University of Kolkata nor the Mellon Foundation, so options A, B and D, each of which needs one of those, are not supported.
