Time Travel Through the Ancient World of the Maya
TimeTours: Uxmal takes students on a virtual trip to the golden age of the Maya, using modern 3D reconstructions. The virtual trip through time brings the past to life in three spherical panoramas that put students right into several important locations of ancient Uxmal using the built-in compass feature. Ten “Now & Then” time windows let users experience what cities looked when ballgames and ritual sacrifices were performed in the ancient world. The new “Now & Then & ...” feature brings the time of the rediscovery alive. If students think old stones alone are a little “dry,” they can use the treasure hunt and minigames as entertaining diversions. They can explore a wealth of information and media while listening to Maya rhythms. Two time travel tour guides help with all features of the app, which is available in English, German, and Spanish. Designed for iPad, the app is available to download for $3.99.
