Walk the Long Walls
The project Walk the Long Walls is an audiovisual web app (audio tour), bilingual (Greek-English), free-of-charge and compatible with all modern devices. The application offers a fascinating archaeological and industrial tour at 23 points of interest. The selected POIs include visible but also inconspicuous archaeological remains of the ancient city along the route of the Long Walls as well as historical buildings.
Each POI includes a narrative with information about the respective rescue excavation or industrial building, pictorial and cartographic material and historical information. By making the most of augmented reality technology (AR), representations with three-dimensional visualization are included in the project.
Residents and visitors of the area, initiated or not, but also teachers and students of all levels, are among the target groups of the web app. One of the main goals of the application is to provide schools with a digital tool for experiential learning. In general, the project Walk the Long Walls aims to raise public awareness of the historical past embedded in the modern city.
The project was implemented with the generous support of the John S. Latsis Public Benefit Foundation, the J. F. Costopoulos Foundation and the George Vergottis Memorial Fund.
