Naturalist to help viewers 'handle' objects from Natural History Museum, as broadcaster also unveils new HBO deal
Sir David Attenborough is to be turned into a hologram for a virtual reality tour of the Natural History Museum in London that promises to allow users to "handle" rare fossils from the comfort of their own home.
Sky has commissioned the new experience, called Hold the World, which it says is a marriage of interactive video game technology and TV documentary. The public will be able to take the tour, which offers an up close and personal experience with fossils, bones and skulls, with insights from Attenborough, if they have a VR set, controller and phone app.
