Memorial to late Queen could include AI or augmented reality, say organisers ‘Value for money is very much at the top of our minds,’ says committee member of monument set to cost up to £46m.
A new national memorial to remember the late Queen could incorporate artificial intelligence, augmented reality or other new technology, organisers say.
The committee, chaired by Lord Janvrin, the late Queen’s former private secretary, has been canvassing public opinion on how to commemorate the longest reign in British history.
Artists, architects and engineers are being invited to compete to draw up the final design before a shortlist of applicants is announced in spring, and a final winner is announced in the summer.
As a committee, we are looking into how digital has revolutionised some of the [country’s] attractions, and whether that’s AI or AR (augmented reality), [we’re] really fascinated by that.”.
