Digital city tours: How technology makes history tangible!

A citizens' dialogue took place in Oppenheim, in which numerous ideas were collected on the city's tourist attractiveness. There were special priorities on the topics of "tours", "famous personalities", "Gautor" and "digital development" of the old town. As historia.eu , for example, offers a virtual tour of the house of European history. The leadership is both chronologically and thematically staggered and contains resources such as videos, audio counts and high -resolution images. Interested parties can get deeper and deeper into the topic that extends from the history of the First World War to the beginning of mass tourism in Europe

technologies such as augmented reality and digital platforms revolutionize history. As described in an article on mobilecity.de , apps and interactive applications enable users to experience historical city tours, often without physical presence. Exemplary services such as Detour and Historypin use GPS and encourage users to share their own historical perspectives.

technology and urban planning

The integration of technological solutions into urban development projects promotes not only the preservation of cultural heritage, but also the identity of the community. Cities like Berlin and Philadelphia use digital displays and interactive kiosks to make historical information accessible. AR apps are used in Kyoto to bring the history of historical temples alive.

summarized it is shown that the connection between technology and history not only enriches learning, but also sustainably influences urban life and tourism. Developments in Oppenheim could benefit from creating offers that reflect both the past and the innovative future of the city.
