Welcome to Then & Now, the ultimate platform for historical photo alignment and exploration. Our app bridges the gap between the past and the present, allowing users to seamlessly overlay modern captures onto historic photographs using advanced AR-based alignment technology.
What the app does: We provide a suite of powerful AI tools that enable users to colorize, enhance, upscale, and even generate 3D videos from black-and-white historic photos. Once a photo is processed, users can physically visit the location, align their camera with the original shot, and capture a perfect "Then & Now" photo pair. The platform features location-based suggestions to help you discover hidden history right in your neighborhood.
Who it is for: Then & Now is built for history enthusiasts, urban explorers, amateur and professional photographers, documentary filmmakers, and anyone fascinated by how our world has evolved. Whether you're looking to reconnect with your hometown's heritage or want to produce high-quality restored images for a professional project, our platform caters to all experience levels.
Who builds it: This application is developed by a dedicated team of historians, AI researchers, and software engineers who share a common passion for preserving history. We leverage cutting-edge artificial intelligence, including machine learning models for image restoration and computer vision for spatial alignment, to bring historical archives to life in ways previously impossible.
