Overview
TimeLens is a new app that makes history visible again on location. Many historical sites are difficult to imagine today: people see a sign, a ruin or sometimes nothing at all. TimeLens shows what these places used to look like, with buildings restored and full of life. By simply holding up your phone, the app shows a 360° window to the past that is aligned with the surroundings.
Our aim is to expand the number of locations in Athens in our app. Showing Athens from the Mycenaean to the Ottoman period.
NB. TimeLens is not limited to Athens. We also work on locations in other countries.
