San Francisco, Through Time
An interactive waterfront tour that turns history into a living experience
San Francisco is a city layered with stories — but most of them are locked behind plaques, textbooks, or museum walls. I wanted to explore what happens when history becomes something you can touch, slide through, and walk inside of. This project is an MVP concept for a location-based, interactive tour app that lets users scan a place and see how it evolved over time — while turning exploration into a gentle, rewarding experience for both visitors and locals.
Original idea by Ron Young, product design by Kate Huezo
The Idea: What if history felt like time travel?
The app combines:
QR-based location discovery
“Then / Now” AR powered overlays (current prototype showcases the photos instead of AR videos)
A tactile timeline users can slide through decades with audio narration to make experience interactive
Short, expandable story moments that could be pinned in “favorites”
Light gamification via stamps and route completion
In-person and remote options
Our office is conveniently located in Manhattan. A place to gather, grow, and reconnect.
