Overview

Welcome to TimeTrekker! An experimental AR application bringing history to life as you converse with AI personas of prominent figures of America. Developed by a passionate black solo developer in Harlem, New York, this project reflects a deep fascination of history and captivating narratives that have shaped our past.

Chat with Alexander Hamilton at his home in Harlem, stand by George Washington at Federal Hall, or listen to the inspiring words of Martin Luther King Jr at Convent Ave Baptist Church, and many more. These AI personalities are intricately designed, each one loaded with a vast database of their autobiographies, letters, scholarly works, and more. Dive deep, ask probing questions, uncover their personal beliefs and the intricate historical contexts they navigated – no detail is too small.

If you find this application intriguing, enlightening, or helpful, consider leaving a tip to support! This project is in the very early stages of development, your support fuels our journey toward refining and expanding this unique experience. Future enhancements in the pipeline include advanced chat features such as downloadable conversation histories with citations, environmental transformations that recreate historical settings in immersive detail, and a growing roster of historical figures to interact with across NYC and beyond.

Embark on this unprecedented journey through time. Happy trekking!
