Rama

Ever wanted to walk through San Francisco after the 1906 Earthquake? Walk across the Brooklyn Bridge as it was being built? Follow Abe Lincoln around his favorite haunts in Washington, DC? Rama is the app for that.

Rama allows you to experience history like never before, turning your iPhone into a digital tour guide that doesn’t just lead you to the historical sites and tell you the story behind them, but also presents archival photographs and etchings to show you how those places once actually looked. See for yourself the lost Chinese architectural wonder of the Imperial Gardens while walking through the Beijing park where it once stood, or see the events that took place in the hallowed Boston Garden, before it was destroyed to make way for a parking lot. There’s no deeper way to know a place you’re visiting, or the place you call home, than seeing its historical evolution with your own eyes.
