About Athens Time-Walk
Did you ever wonder about a time-machine that could bring you back in time? How would it feel if you could actually walk in classical, roman and ottoman Athens, visit the Acropolis, explore the Agora, the Olympieion, the Kerameikos and see what they looked like through the ages?
The first free public beta version of Athens Time-Walk is finally here, waiting for your comments! As we keep on working (hard) on various improvements, your feedback, reviews and ratings are more than welcome!
As the embedded multimedia content is very rich (…ask our exhausted 3d modelers!!!...),you will be of course needing a descent mobile device, let’s say with two processors and 2GB memory. You will also need to be a little patient while downloading.
We are working on reducing the size and making the app available to the most possible devices.
In case you are interested in some more functional and practical info:
The application presents you the cultural past of Athens in a virtual and augmented environment, featuring famous sites of the city and presenting them in 3D reconstructions. The app functions whether you are on-site or off-site.
In the on-site tour, related to your current position, you may watch in real time the ancient monuments in situ and through multimedia content to get all the information needed. When you are off-site, the app functions like a game, using the joystick to walk through the site.
There simply is no better way to learn about the history of Athens on foot, at your own pace.
This app comes with a detailed and fully functional city map to assist you not only to explore the city center, but also locate all the important archaeological sites. City map functions in this app include: street name, location tracking and more.
All the data used in this app is built into the software, so no need for internet access, cellular data plan or costly roaming charges.
Features of the current version of the Athens Time-Walk App:
- Free offline app with no hidden costs
- Works onsite in real time at the Ancient Roman Agora near Monastiraki
- Works offsite at Acropolis, South Acropolis Slope, Ancient and Roman Agora, Olympieion, Kerameikos
More onsite, real time areas and multimedia content are on their way!
