Description

This app introduces users to the history of the city of Tel-Aviv by means of interactive videos, games, and storytelling that can be launched at selected historical sites throughout the city. The app combines historical and archival materials to facilitate the experiential navigation of the cityscape. 

This app demonstrates the AR category of Historical Annotation. In this category, mainstream narratives and histories reflecting actual events of the past are activated and validated through superimposing digitized archival materials onto physical space.
