Choose a place. Choose a time. See what it might have looked like. Lookback is a time machine for places. Pick anywhere on Earth, go back to any year from 1000 BCE to today, choose the light, from dawn to night, and look back. You get the scene as it might have been, a short documentary note read from real sources, and numbered details that tell you what you are looking at and where it is documented. YOUR FIRST JOURNEY IS FREE Start without an account. Pick one of eight cities: Rome in 120, Kyoto in 1600, Cairo in 1250, Tenochtitlan in 1500, Istanbul in 1453, Timbuktu in 1500, York in 1450 or Paris in 1789. Open its look, then watch it come alive in a fifteen-second film. Sign in when you want to keep it. FLING THROUGH THREE THOUSAND YEARS Drag the years under the needle and feel each period click past, named the way the place itself names them: Heian and Edo in Kyoto, Mamluk and Ottoman in Cairo. Touch the sky to set the time of day, and the light changes with the sun. EVERY DETAIL, WITH ITS SOURCE Every look is an interpretation, and says so. The note tells you what is documented and what is imagined, and every numbered detail links the source it was read from. Ask a question about the moment and the answer comes from the same sources. WATCH THE MOMENT COME ALIVE Turn any look into a short film, fifteen or thirty seconds long, with the ambient sound of the street. TWENTY-ONE JOURNEYS From Persepolis on tribute day to Paris in 1900: moments worth standing in, each ready to open. Turn on reminders and a new one arrives every three days. YOUR LIBRARY, WHEREVER YOU ARE Everything you make is kept in your library, on your iPhone, your iPad and the web. Compare two eras of the same place side by side, save pictures and films to Photos, and share a film with a link. CREDITS New accounts start with 100 free credits. A look costs 10 credits, a film from 80, and a question 1. When you need more, buy a pack once. Pictures and films are reconstructions, not photographs, footage or historical records.
