BC student-made app offers tour of Joyce’s Dublin

Published



BOSTON (AP) — Combining classic fiction with modern technology, Boston College students created a new app that takes users on an interactive walking tour of Dublin through the eyes of James Joyce characters in his stream-of-consciousness masterwork “Ulysses.”

Dubbed “JoyceWays,” the app grew out of a class project that students of English Literature professor and Ireland native Joe Nugent started in 2009. University officials expect the app to launch on iTunes this weekend. The app website says it will sell for 2.99 in Euros, which would be about $3.75.
