A new version of the Clio app uses augmented reality, allowing users to pan their smartphone across the landscape to see historic photos and click on them to learn more.
What is Clio?
Clio, named after the mythological Greek muse of history, is both an educational website and mobile application that allows users to experience guided tours of local landmarks, actively displaying information about objects and locations as it goes.
Being used at nearly 160 universities across the US and having acquired roughly a thousand completed guided tours, Clio’s pool of information is constantly being updated with publicly sourced information.
