Residents are invited to help design time travelling benches that will use virtual reality to recreate the sights and sounds of Blaenavon in the 19th century.
Workshops are free for anyone to attend and take place at the World Heritage Centre on Friday 2 November and Saturday 3 November at Big Pit from 10am.
The benches are being designed by local artist Rubin Eynon and Glen Adams, blacksmith at Horizon Forge.
They will be positioned at key sites around Blaenavon and will be downloadable from the VisitBlaenavon website for users to experience on their smartphone and through VR headsets, taking them back to the 19th century to see how Blaenavon would have looked.
The project is being delivered by Torfaen Council and the National Museum of Wales, and is being supported by the Welsh Government.
The benches will be in place in early 2019. For further information contact blaenavon.tic@torfaen.gov.uk or 01495 742333.
Gwahoddir trigolion i helpu i ddylunio meinciau teithio drwy amser a fydd yn defnyddio realiti rhithwir i ail-greu golygfeydd a synau Blaenafon yn y 19eg ganrif.
Mae gweithdai am ddim i unrhyw un eu mynychu ac fe’u cynhelir yng Nghanolfan Dreftadaeth y Byd ar ddydd Gwener 2 Tachwedd a dydd Sadwrn 3 Tachwedd yn y Pwll Mawr o 10am.
Mae’r meinciau yn cael eu dylunio gan yr artist lleol Rubin Eynon a Glen Adams, gof yn Horizon Forge.
Byddant yn cael eu lleoli ar safleoedd allweddol o amgylch Blaenafon a bydd modd eu lawrlwytho o wefan VisitBlaenavon i ddefnyddwyr gael y profiad ar eu ffôn clyfar a thrwy setiau pen realiti rhithwir, gan fynd â nhw’n ôl i’r 19eg ganrif i weld sut le’r oedd Blaenafon bryd hynny.
Mae’r prosiect yn cael ei gyflenwi gan Gyngor Torfaen ac Amgueddfa Genedlaethol Cymru, ac yn cael ei gefnogi gan Lywodraeth Cymru. Bydd y meinciau’n cael eu gosod yn gynnar yn 2019.
