Augmented Reality is taking many tourist and thrusting them back in time to experience the sights of the ancient world. Just by using a camera and a video screen Augmented reality combines live and digital images in real time. With this, it can give many people the sense that artificial objects are appearing in the physical world.in some countries such as in germany, china, france,Switzerland the images of the past landmarks are reconstructed and being displayed overlapping with the current appearance giving tourists the sense of travelling back in time. We know that augmented reality is used in a variety of applications, mainly is on entertainment, but some have started to focus on to provide helpful information to answer questions for example, where can i find a restaurant?.Historically accurate depictions of the past for tourists falls in between the two. Besides, it makes people wonder that if augmented reality is trying to get a ‘sweet spot’ in the world Many historic places across the world such as, in Beijing the ‘Garden of Perfect Brightness’ was lost during the war. The garden was constructed in the late 18th and early 19th centuries and was destroyed in 1860 during the second opium war. Without high resolution photography, China’s current citizens had to rely on paintings and sketches to see how the beautiful gardens once appeared. A team at the Beijing Institute of Technology created a virtual reconstruction of the gardens and a coin operated viewing platform for tourists to use to see it. They are even working on a sleeker looking model to replace the current one.
