What's New
• We have quite a few background improvements in this update to provide better performance and error handling related to third party dependencies.
• We already don't track you in relation to this app, but we have improved the randomness around the ID values used to deliver chat messages to improve the privacy and security of our system overall.
• There are also improvements around logging to reduce logs on your device and limit logging to our server. (Logging to our server is focused around advertisement display and performance, and basic app usage.)
App Description
This educational tool allows you to view the history of a location through the lens of old film and video footage. Students can witness the dedication of the Lincoln Memorial, experience the 1900 World's Fair in Paris and see the Anschluß in Vienna, Austria in our growing collection of materials.
As a viewer you will have to be within 150 feet or 50 meters to view the nearby films. You can find other film locations on the map so you will know which areas to visit.
You can also submit your own content to the project by using our MacOS Application to prepare your films. The editing interface allows you to mark scene breaks in your video, identify the date of the scene, it's location and also identify things (people, events, landmarks and organizations) within the scene.
