Deep in the UK countryside are numerous heritage sites of national and international significance but attracting visitors can be a challenge. Remote tourist attractions in the UK have started using the 5 G augmented reality ( AR ) app World Around Me to help visitors learn more about the sites . The app is part of a deal between the North Pennines Area of Natural Beauty ( AONB ) Partnership and local villages . The AR project is part of the state - backed £ 4 m ( $ 4.9 m ) funding scheme to reduce digital exclusion in rural communities by deploying 5 G technology . The AR 's creator Tarun Sainani said the AR worked like signposts to help visitors access and understand a heritage site . He is now planning links with other local heritage boards .
