It is called Streetmuseum and it is the application-"time capsule" of the Museum of London, which allows the user, through the photos he takes in the city, to travel to the past.
The aim of the museum was to create an application that presents the changes the city has undergone over the years. Whether you're a tourist visiting the British capital for the first time, or a local, the app for iOS and Android promises to offer a unique browsing experience between yesterday and today.
"Travel" in time
The only thing he has to do user είναι να επιλέξει μέσα από τον χάρτη της εφαρμογής το σημείο στο οποίο βρίσκεται στο Λονδίνο και με τη βοήθεια του GPS να εντοπίσει μια ιστορική λήψη την οποία θα μπορούσε να «παντρέψει» μέσα στη φωτογραφία του. Κρατώντας την camera of his cell phone up to 'capture' the current look of that particular street, he can then look through the 'window' of time and see what it was like in the past.
Well-dressed men and women with long dresses and hats are walking on the sidewalks, bikes, wagons and age-old vehicles on the road, and the buildings make "face-ups" turning back time. Incorporating the 19 and 20 century downloads in his "fresh" photographs, the user bridges yesterday with today, offering himself and his friends a unique aesthetic result with a history of flavor and a nostalgic flavor.
