Description
Mobile Optical Illusions (MOPTIL) is a Greek company producing AR apps that help visitors imagine prominent archeological sites as they once were. The company works with leading archeological and research institutions to create 3D models of historical ruins and sites, and to inhabit them with semi-historical figures and scenes. The company also developed a special iPad case, to enable easy hold and use outdoors and in the sun.
This app demonstrates the AR category of
Historical Modelling and Reconstruction. In this category, digital visualizations of an assumed past are imposed onto a relevant physical location, such as an archeological site. The virtual content in this case does not directly represent indexical archival materials, such as documents or photos, but rather it is a result of processing research materials and thus it reflects an educated assumption about the past in-situ.
