A. Locations
Ten locations in and around the Cathedral are represented
in the System. Fig 15 shows the geographical location of each
one as viewed from the top of the Cathedral. When a user
begins the tour, the locations are traversed in turn (starting at
the Pends and ending at the Refectory), with users going from
one location to the next. This facilitates on-site exploration
of the Cathedral because at each location, users can hold up
the viewer to observe the reconstructed view of the Cathedral,
and then compare this with the Cathedral’s current state (see
figs 7 - 10). This enables a comparison of the remains of the
Cathedral with a view of its majestic architecture as at 1318.
The significance of these locations are highlighted below:
Pends: Located on the South-west of the Cathedral, it was
one of at least four gates into the Cathedral precinct. It was
important for the gates to be as impressive as possible to give
an idea of the high standing of the Augustinian community
within the precinct.
