From Farmhouses to Smart Homes: AR Brings History to Life
Imagine stepping into a 1990s urban factory worker’s apartment—complete with retro TVs 📺 and vintage posters—without leaving your couch. That’s the magic of Gateway of Time, a new AR project by CGTN launching soon. The experience teleports users through 75 years of life in China, blending nostalgia with cutting-edge tech.
Decades at Your Fingertips
Starting with a 1950s farmer’s humble home, the journey highlights radical changes: witness black-and-white family photos turn to smartphone selfies 📸 and communal kitchens evolve into smart appliances. The 1990s segment—a golden era for pop culture and urbanization—features cassette tapes, neon-lit streetscapes, and early internet cafes 🕹️.
Why Gen Z Will Love It
Think Stranger Things meets museums! The AR tool lets users interact with artifacts—like adjusting a 1990s rotary phone ☎️ or browsing a 2020s smart home app. Perfect for history buffs and techies alike, it’s a viral-ready dive into how everyday life reshaped a nation.
