TYMERAMA

Tymerama is a project that enables people to see surrounding scenes of a location from the past, in the future, and behind the surface on a tablet screen by syncronizing their viewing angles with that of the viewer in the current physical environment. It aims to help facility management, archaeologist, tourist, architect, and urban designer to understand spatial and temporary transformations on the site.
