AR Camera App Yesterscape

It is currently undergoing a renewal, and a new version, Yesterscape2, is scheduled to be released in 2025.

“Expand Reality: The Forefront of AR”

Nihon Keizai Shimbun

“Put the Yesterscape app on your smartphone and go out into the city of Kobe. You can see the scenery of the earthquake disaster through your smartphone.”

Kobe Shimbun / Yesterscape

“Personally, I really admire this project, especially the idea of executing it here in Japan where the elderly demographic is so huge. The possibility of old people’s memories dying as they die can be thought of as a sort of cultural crisis. And I really think that governments should be on board sponsoring something like this, getting their own archives transferred into Yesterscape.”
