Neolithic Sanctuary in AR

Marc Frincu

About this app

The application reproduces on a real scale, using augmented reality, the Neolithic sanctuary from Parța, Timiş county, Romania. The 7000-year-old sanctuary contains numerous symbolic elements with astronomical significance. Using the phone's sensors, the application places the sanctuary as in was reality (east-west direction) and simulates the sunlight at the current moment and the equinoxes. Therefore, you can experience the lighting differently depending on the time and date. Inside the sanctuary, there are informative panels that you can discover by walking around. Since the sanctuary has a size of about 12 x 6 m, it is recommended to use the application outside in sufficiently large places (for example in parks, courtyards or gardens). Please check the surroundings before using the app to avoid injury.

What’s new

Automatic sanctuary placement at its real coordinates if the user is less than 50m away.
