now, later this month, a number of globes here at the british library, some of them over 400 years oldgoing be made available online in full, 360 interactive form. this isn'tjust a way of immortalising these fragile objects but also making them available to the masses. the digital globes project will eventually see 30 of them brought to virtual life without the risk of any grubby mitts damaging the originals. anthony, here we have the capturing process, quite a few dslrs. can you talk me through the set—up? it's not actually capturing the whole globe, it's actually capturing elements, and the process is called photogrammetry. so once all the images go through to the computer, the software we'll be using will render all the images together to make one complete globe. once they are all knitted together, you have to make sure that the colour‘s right, is that what that colour chart‘s for? that is correct. for example, we can do a 3d print from the items. so if you can do a 3d print, you need to have it exactly the right colour. so people can recreate their own — not that these globes are e

as well as being available on the british library's website, there is also an augmented reality versionatible device. here is the map and to turn it into ar, you up on this and it appears in front of me and i can travel around the world. it's an interesting contrast. while this looks so ancient to us, it was technology in its time and now we're mixing that in with a bit of tented reality. the technology of our time. so while they may have been a little polishing in the virtual versions, these globes still provide a history lesson of how the world was seen, not just lesson of how the world was seen, notjust geographically but politically in each of their errors. —— eras. earlier we were talking about the coronavirus. now, to a very different sort of health risk. the snake bite. around 5 million people every year are bitten by snakes. and of course we know how dangerous they have enemies. it can cause crippling injuries and fatal. india is one of the parts of the world that has the highest death toll. falling into the tens of thousands every year. so could something as simple as a mobile
