A US company has unveiled an inter- active multimedia website which provides a virtual tour of the Riga Ghetto and Latvian Holocaust Museum from anywhere in the world. An interactive map experience, called Walk Among Memories, com- bines Google Street View with archival photographs and multime- dia survivor stories to allow people to tour and learn about the Riga Ghetto – a Nazi-designated area of Latvia where Jews were forced to live during the Second World War. The website – which also includes six survivor stories told as interactive graphic novels – aims to show the everyday reality of the Riga Ghetto. Read more:

Nike has signalled ambitions to dominate the wearable tech and fi tness app market with the launch of a research and develop- ment lab in San Francisco, California. The Nike+ Fuel Lab launched earlier this month marks the latest development in the company’s quest to make its NikeFuel measurement system – whereby users earn NikeFuel points for their levels of activity – the universal standard for activity tracking across digital platforms. Nike’s range of fi tness apps fall under
the Nike+ network – which is currently used by 28 million people worldwide – and the company hopes to build on partner-
ships it has established with popular third-party options including weight loss app MyFitnessPal, running companion RunKeeper, and tracking app Strava to take this fi gure past the 100 million mark. The company says it is cumbersome
