TimeGazer

A photo booth for time traveling
send greeting from the poster
virtually enter the historical postcard

Mockup of the process.

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. 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. Optionally with connection to swiss postal postcard creator API (or at least send it per mail).

Quote from the data introduction page:

A collection of 3900 postcards from Valais. Some highlights are churches, cable cars, landscapes and traditional costumes.
