A new application for smartphones and tablets through Cosmote Telecommunications reanimates parts of the archaeological site of the Acropolis to their original state while the visitor is viewing the ancient monument, it was announced on Wednesday, ANA reports.
Named ‘Cosmote Chronos’, the application combines the capabilities of augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies with the signal strength of 5G networks to present scientifically documented recreations of the Acropolis.
These include the Parthenon, the sanctuary of Artemis Brauronia, and the Chalkotheke (housing metal votive offerings), of which the latter two have not survived. The application also includes the Odeon of Herodes Atticus and the monuments of the southern slope of the Acropolis, viewed from the Acropolis Museum. It also presents emblematic pieces exhibited on the Museum’s 3rd floor, where the Parthenon sculptures are displayed.
