CITY IN TIME is a cutting-edge augmented reality (AR) urban heritage project created by City University of Hong Kong for the Tourism Commission. Currently deployed at 44 locations across Hong Kong, the project utilizes photogrammetry and AR technology to transform smartphones into "magic windows" that reveal 360-degree historical panoramas perfectly aligned with modern-day surroundings. By blending archival research with digital visualization, it offers an immersive smart tourism experience that allows the public to explore the city’s historical transformation in an interactive and engaging manner.
The Artistic Director, Professor Jeffrey Shaw will share the creative and technical processes behind the project and its application in cultural heritage preservation.
Professor Jeffrey Shaw is internationally renowned for his pioneering activities as an artist and researcher. His numerous internationally exhibited and extensively cited works are milestones of technological and cultural innovation that have had a seminal impact on the theory, design and application of digital media in art, society and industry. Currently he is Chair Professor at the Hong Kong Baptist University (HKBU)’s Academy of Visual Art and Founding Director of the HKBU Visualization Research Centre.
