Augmented reality brings to life the stories of Victory in Europe Day 80 years ago
As the UK gears up to celebrate 80 years since VE day, Sky News can showcase the latest immersive technology that brings the experience to life in your own home. The Augmented Reality (AR) software, developed by Atlantic Productions and the Imperial War Museum, lets you explore the stories and hear the voices of those who were there. It puts photos from the day into your own environment and within each one you can hear powerful testimony and see the day from several different perspectives. Click here for the augmented reality experience (only on your smartphone) and then point the camera at a nearby surface like a table. Victory in Europe Day marked the end of the fighting in Europe, and was met with celebrations across the UK and on the continent. This year will mark its 80th anniversary with a number of events planned over the first May bank holiday. The images the experience lets you explore include Through The Eyes Of A Child, a moving picture of children in Battersea, South London, clinging onto Union Jacks. Another of the pictures is titled The Toll Of War, an image of a war cemetery in Minturno, Italy, where three people talk through the stories behind the image. "Through historical audio recordings, audiences can step into these pivotal scenes, hearing firsthand the diverse experiences of a generation who witnessed both the joy of peace and the uncertainty of a world still in transition," Atlantic Productions, which developed the experience, said in a statement.

You Probably Missed This Musical Detail That Makes Adolescence Even More Haunting
This article contains spoilers for the Netflix drama Adolescence. In episode two of Adolescence, Faye Marsay's character laments that in murder cases, it's often the perpetrator who is focussed on, rather than the victim. 'Katie isn't important. Jamie is,' she claims. 'Everyone will remember Jamie. No one will remember her. That's what annoys me. That's what gets to me.' While the hard-hitting Netflix drama undoubtedly focusses on Jamie, played by teen actor Owen Cooper, rather than the girl at his school that he murders, director Philip Barantini said that the team did make sure that Katie's voice was heard in some small way throughout the show – even if viewers don't realise it. Speaking to the official Netflix outlet Tudum, Barantini explained that a voice heard in the score over the course of the show's four episodes actually belongs to Emilia Holliday – who briefly appears in the show as Katie. 'The voice in the score is Katie's voice,' he explained. 'Katie is a part of the whole series. Her presence is always there.' Another key musical moment in the show comes at the end of episode two, which also makes use of a remarkable drone shot that maintains the show's one-take, straight-through approach. While the camera flies to another part of the action, where Stephen Graham's character is seen lying flowers on the spot where his son murdered his classmate, a cover of Sting's Fragile is heard being performed by a children's choir. Similarly, Aurora's Through The Eyes Of A Child is heard over the show's closing moments, which as chosen by Barantini as he heard it for the first time around the time he first read Adolescence's script. Meanwhile, a more light-hearted moment in the show makes use of Aha's Take On Me, as Jamie's parents reflect on the early years of their romance as teenagers. Adolescence is available to stream now on Netflix. This Is How Netflix's Adolescence Pulled Off Its Incredible One-Shot Technique Here's What Actually Happened If Someone Made A Mistake While Adolescence Was Being Filmed This Brilliant Moment From Adolescence Episode 3 Wasn't Actually In The Script
