Several members of the Contra Vision team made a trip to London to celebrate Contra Vision being one of one hundred inventions and innovations in a “Travelling Museum of British Invention” which is currently touring the UK to promote the key role played by British inventions in science and engineering.
Inventions as wide ranging as gravity to radar, the NHS to postage stamps, jet engines to penicillin all were included to highlight 100 innovations which have had their impact on our society.
Contra Vision, was in the unusual position of being both inside and outside the bus; our see-through technology was included as a British invention which is seen around the world, and then also used to wrap parts of the museum, creating an eye catching travelling museum, attracting plenty of visitors keen to learn more about inventions and science.
The Travelling Museum of British Invention parked up outside the House of Commons to promote ‘Parliament Week’ in London as it included reference to the Magna Carta and several inventions or innovations involving Parliament’s consent.
