Chronos app - virtual time travel to the Acropolis
Visitors to the ancient Greek temple of the Parthenon on the Acropolis of Athens can now see the ancient Greek temple of the 5th century BC with the help of the new augmented reality application “Chronos”. Developed by the Greek government, the program is named after the Greek god of time. It allows people to see these ancient architectural wonders in their former glory, novate writes.
The Acropolis and Parthenon are some of the most iconic landmarks in the world. However, due to the damage caused by time, they now lie in ruins. By pointing your smartphone at the monument, you can look into the past. A digital overlay shows what the temple looked like, according to archaeologists, 2,500 years ago.
The app uses artificial intelligence and virtual reality technology to reconstruct the Acropolis and Parthenon as they would have looked in ancient times. Users can explore temples and other structures in 360 degrees and learn about their history and significance.
The app is available for free on Android and iOS devices in English and Greek. In the future, the developers plan to add other languages.
