TimeLess is an AR (Augmented Reality) Web application that lets users experience history in real time.
By pointing their phone camera at a real historical monument, the app replaces the present-day structure with a 3D reconstruction of how it looked in the past, while keeping the real-world surroundings unchanged.
- Uses the device camera to detect a historical monument
- Overlays a past-era 3D model of the monument in real-world scale
- Keeps the live camera background intact for realism
- Allows users to visually time-travel and explore history
- 📷 Real-Time AR View – Seamless camera-based augmented reality
- 🏗️ Historical 3D Reconstructions – Accurate models of monuments from the past
- 🌍 Context-Preserved Environment – Only the monument changes, not the surroundings
- 🎓 Educational Experience – Learn history visually, not just through text
- User opens the TimeLess app
- Points the camera at a supported historical monument
- The app recognizes the monument
- A 3D model of the monument from a specific historical era replaces the current structure
- User explores the monument as it existed in the past
- Frontend: Nextjs
- AR: ARCore (Android), ARKit (iOS), WebXR (optional)
- 3D Models: GLB
- Backend: FastApi
- Cloud Storage: For 3D assets and metadata
- Students learning history interactively
- Tourists exploring monuments in a new way
- Museums and cultural heritage projects
- Educational institutions and AR exhibitions
TimeLess aims to bridge the gap between history and technology, allowing anyone to see the past through their phone and experience monuments as they once were.
This project is currently under development. Licensing details will be added later.
