On traditional city tours, tour guides invite those interested to take a journey through the history of a city, its buildings and its people – usually in words and on-site in a group.
The Mathildenhöhe Darmstadt app organises tours of the Mathidenhöhe digitally and thus more interactively. With “Future History”, historical views can be displayed on the smartphone using AR (augmented reality) with a swipe function and superimposed over current perspectives. This shows impressively: What has changed, what has stayed the same?
You can find more information about the app here.
Since June 2020, digital tours in Darmstadt using the Future History app have included Darmstadt’s city centre as well as the Mathildenhöhe artists’ colony.
