How to live, understand, and create history |
|
.
...Just imagine a web application, which shows you exactly, how people used to live in earlier times and what their deeds were! Imagine an application that can show you historic connections in all their details! A program, in which you can determine what geographic or historic part of history you would like to see and decide on the depth of detail and speed, at which the film is played. Imagine for example, you can see before your very eyes, in all details, the discovery of America – from the voyages to the wars of independence and beyond! Imagine, you can even present your own personal vita and that of your ancestors in a historic context and – last not least – imagine you could turn back the wheel of history and throw the dice for a completely different historic scenario than that, which has happened.
All this the WIKISTORIA-Project offers to you. Our aim is to develop a software and set up a site, into which all events of human history can be entered on to an interactive world map and shown graphically.

 Demo Film (To view the demonstration film please click the picture)
This film shows you, how we imagine the result of our project to be. It has no functions and only shows one event. The final aim of the WIKISTORIA-project – the WIKISTORIA movie – is to show (according to the settings), all contemporaneous events.
You see the first voyage of Cristóbal Colón.
