-===== Time Gazer =====
+ ====== TimeGazer ======
+Welcome to TimeGazer: A time-traveling photo booth enabling you to send greetings from historical postcards.
+Based on the wonderful “Postcards from Valais (1890 - 1950)” dataset, consisting of nearly 4000 historic postcards of Valais, we create a prototype for Mixed-Reality photo booth.
+Choose a historic postcard as a background and a person will be style-transferred virtually onto the postcard.
+===== Photobomb a historical postcard =====
+> A photo booth for time traveling
+> send greetings from the poster
+> virtually enter the historical postcard

+Mockup of the process.
+Based on the wonderful "Postcards from Valais (1890 - 1950)" [[https://opendata.swiss/en/dataset/postcards-from-valais-1890-1950|dataset]],
+consisting of nearly 4000 historic postcards of Valais, we create a prototype for Mixed-Reality photo booth.
+One can choose a historic postcard as a background and a person will be style-transferred virtually onto the postcard.
+Potentially with VR-trackerified things to add choosable objects virtually into the scene.
+===== Technology =====
+This project is roughly based on a [[http://make.opendata.ch/wiki/project:virtual_3d_exhibition|project]] from last year, which resulted in an active research project at [[https://dbis.dmi.unibas.ch/|Databases and Information Systems]] group of the [[https://www.unibas.ch/de|University of Basel]]: [[https://dbis.dmi.unibas.ch/research/projects/virtue/|VIRTUE]].
+Hence, we use a similar setup:
+  * [[https://www.vive.com/eu/product/vive-pro/|HTC Vive Pro]] VR-Headset
+  * [[https://unity3d.com|Unity]]
+  * [[https://towardsdatascience.com/style-transfer-styling-images-with-convolutional-neural-networks-7d215b58f461|Style Transfer - Styling Images with Convolutional Neural Networks]]
+===== Results =====
