Combining Historical Images and Real Life Surroundings in Panoramas Using Augmented Reality Technology Bringing you into Old Hong Kong to Immerse in Fascinating Historical Scenes
With New Check-in Spots and Brand-new Elements of Hong Kong Films
HONG KONG, June 7 (Bernama-BUSINESS WIRE) — The Tourism Commission launched additional spots for the City in Time tourism project in six designated locations in Lei Yue Mun today (June 5). Locals and tourists can simply use their smartphones with the City in Time mobile app downloaded and scan the AR markers installed at designated locations using their smartphones with the City in Time mobile app downloaded to step into the historical panoramas pieced together from heritage photos or illustrations by local artists based on historical information. This immersive journey allows you to witness Hong Kong’s extraordinary geographical and environmental transformation over time, juxtaposing past and present and fully immersing in the old and the new!
Commissioned by the Tourism Commission, the City in Time Project is developed and produced by the School of Creative Media of City University of Hong Kong (CityUHK). The historical panoramas were modelled in 3D, deploying augmented reality (AR) and multimedia technologies to optical track and spatially align them with the actual environment. Coupled with engaging animations and special sound effects, it offers locals and tourists a comprehensive and immersive travelling experience.
The Secretary for Culture, Sports and Tourism, Mr Kevin Yeung, said, “With ‘Tourism is everywhere in Hong Kong’, City in Time allows locals and tourists to experience Hong Kong’s past and present through the City in Time mobile app. The Project covers designated locations in Central, the Peak, Tsim Sha Tsui, Sham Shui Po, Yau Ma Tei, Jordan and Lei Yue Mun. It will be extended to Tai Hang and Kowloon City later on, tying in with the new trend of city walk and in-depth travel, as well as enriching tourists’ travelling experience.” Professor Jeffrey Shaw, Artistic Director of the Project, also said, “City in Time puts Hong Kong at the forefront of a new media technologically enriched tourism industry. It is the world’s first comprehensive deployment of AR technology in the urban environment, robustly designed to enhance people’s experience of the city’s past and present.”
City in Time was first launched in 2021 at 28 designated locations in Central, the Peak, Tsim Sha Tsui, Sham Shui Po, Yau Ma Tei, and Jordan, where it received widespread acclaim. This time, in addition to expanding to Lei Yue Mun, the mobile app’s features have been upgraded. These upgrades include adding filters and video recording to the selfie function, and advancing the animation of the historical panoramas to 3D.
Six New Check-in Spots: A Closer Look at the Old Days of Lei Yue Mun
The six new designated locations are situated at various viewing decks along the Lei Yue Mun waterfront. Use the mobile app when strolling along the waterfront to scan the AR clocks, locals and tourists can travel back in time to Lei Yue Mun and discover its past in different periods. It feels like entering time tunnel. The six AR clocks depict different historical stories from various periods of Lei Yue Mun, covering themes such as historical and cultural development, development of the seafood and quarrying industries, changes in sea transportation, etc. allowing locals and tourists to explore the cultural history of Lei Yue Mun in depth.
Pilgrimage to Hong Kong Filming Locations: Revisiting the Classics
City in Time has also incorporated film elements at its existing designated locations, encouraging locals and tourists to make pilgrimages to Hong Kong filming locations and watch classic Hong Kong film clips on-site, allowing them to experience the fleeting moments of light and shadow. The films include City on Fire, C’est la vie, mon chéri (Endless Love), Infernal Affairs III, Anita, and A Guilty Conscience, which recently won Best Film at the 42nd Hong Kong Film Awards.
The City in Time mobile app is available for free downloading at the Apple App Store and Google Play. Locals and tourists can also experience it remotely via the City in Time website (cityintime.hk), enjoying the past and present views of various designated locations anytime, anywhere.
City in Time brings Hong Kong’s extraordinary history back to life by transforming smartphones into magic ‘augmented reality’ windows contrasting 360-degree panoramic images of old Hong Kong with today’s surroundings.
City in Time can be experienced in person at various designated locations in Hong Kong, using a designated mobile app, or virtually on the City in Time website. The app allows you to use your smartphone camera to compare historical scenes with the present-day situation around you, while the web version compares them to panoramic photographs of the present-day environment. The historical scenes are supplemented with lively animations, informative descriptions of major landmarks, and selfie and sharing functions for uploading to social media platforms.
City in Time can also be experienced remotely on the City in Time website, with the locations virtually accessible.
City in Time is presented by the Tourism Commission and created by the City University of Hong Kong, to enrich the experience of locals and tourists in Hong Kong using the combination of art and technology.
The HEAD registry, with nearly 800 patients, serves to evaluate the economic and social impact of allergies at a European level
VALENCIA, Spain, June 4 (Bernama-GLOBE NEWSWIRE) — Allergic diseases cost between 1,823€ and 6,656€ per patient per year if we only consider the direct costs derived from healthcare, according to a study of the data collected through the European HEAD registry promoted by the EAACI, which is holding its congress at the Feria de Valencia until Monday, June 3.
“Allergic diseases and asthma are among the most common chronic diseases worldwide and account for a considerable global health burden. However, their real impact is difficult to estimate due to the lack of representativeness and incompleteness of the available data,” explain Dr. Ioana Agache, who chairs EAACI’s Research and Outreach Committee (ROC). The HEAD registry was launched to describe patterns of care for allergic diseases and asthma and to assess their impact on costs, both financial and personal. On average, adult patients lost between 2.68 and 5.33 days of work, children between 14.88 and 24.09 days of school and their families between 3.99 and 23.35 days.
“The significant burden of allergic diseases, according to this research, calls for immediate action to improve their management,” says Dr. Agache. “Treatments advised by EAACI guidelines can improve outcomes, but global clean air measures are needed to make a significant impact,” she points out.
The Congress also discusses how to facilitate the translation of trial and research results into routine clinical practice. “There are some experimental approaches with greater potential to be translated to the clinic, such as flow cytometry for basophil activation tests or ELISA to measure periostin levels,” explains María Escribese Alonso, Vice-Dean of Research at the Faculty of Medicine of the CEU San Pablo University and director of the Institute of Applied Molecular Medicine-Nemesio Diez. She also stresses that Spain is a great country for translational research in allergy “promoting networks where clinicians and researchers have the opportunity to collaborate with a common goal.”
