This book presents a comprehensive history and analysis of Secret Cinema – the leading producer of large-scale immersive experiences in the UK. It examines how the company has evolved over twelve years from an experimental and artisanal organisation to a global leader in the field. The book focuses on the UK in late-2019, a point at which the immersive sector had grown significantly through its increasing contribution to GDP and its widespread recognition as a legitimate cultural offering. It captures an organisation and a sector transitioning from marginal and subcultural roots to a commodifiable and commercial form, now with recognisable professional roles and practices, which has contributed to the establishment of an immersive experience industry of national importance and global reach.

This book demonstrates the usefulness of the modern smartphone for providing location aware applications to the tourist as an end user. During the course of this book it has been demonstrated that the modern smartphone has the accuracy and responsiveness required to provide excellent location aware functionality to the tourist end user. The GPS section outlines how a developer can leverage this functionality to make apps that use close quarter location positioning to help the average tourist in a host of different ways. It has also been demonstrated that bluetooth and other technologies such as QR coding are effective at providing location aware functionality in situations where GNSS(GPS) is ineffective, such as in indoor environments. Lastly, the book outlines how an engineer could provide augmented location services when GPS is not available by using the RSSI signal from Bluetooth devices.
