AI transports visitors into past eras — as a person of their time, at a place they know and recognise. History up close and personal.
Time Travel uses AI to transport visitors into historical eras — fully transformed with period clothing, matching light and a real local background from the respective era. Visitors recognise their location — just from a different time.
The background always shows a real, recognisable place at the location — the street, the building, the square — in the style of the chosen era. That makes every image unique and locally anchored.
On the touchscreen the visitor selects from three historical eras — GDR, Roaring Twenties or Imperial Age. Each era is linked to the local place of the location.
The visitor steps into the marked position. The AI captures body, face and posture automatically.
In 4–8 seconds the AI dresses the visitor in period clothing and places them in a historical scene of the local place — authentic, detailed, recognisable.
Payment by card or NFC. The finished historical portrait arrives via QR code on the smartphone — instantly shareable.
The background always shows a recognisable place at the location — the local street, the familiar building — just in the style of the chosen era. That creates emotional connection.
Clothing, hairstyle, light and background are fully adjusted by the AI — not a superimposed filter, but a genuine historical portrait in photographer quality.
Runs on the same hardware as all other CosmoProducts booths. For existing operators: a pure content upgrade without new investment in devices.
GDR appeals to eastern German places and older audiences. Roaring Twenties and Imperial Age appeal to city history enthusiasts and tourists. Three eras — three target groups.
High-quality historical selfies are widely shared on social media — especially when the background is a well-known local place. Organic reach for the location.
The 43" outdoor screen shows continuous historical transformations — the unusual imagery draws passers-by from a distance and explains the product without text.
Time Travel works particularly strongly at places with historical identity — where visitors have or want to develop a connection to the past of the place.
Historical eras fit perfectly with the nostalgic Christmas market atmosphere. GDR theme particularly strong at eastern German markets.
Cities with well-preserved historic architecture benefit particularly — Roaring Twenties and Imperial Age suit Wilhelminian-era buildings.
Historical transformations as interactive cultural offering — ideal as a complement to city museums, history trails and memorial sites.
Piers and coastal places with a long history — Imperial-era seaside resorts offer strong historical backdrops for the era transformation.
Each era is produced with the real local background of the location — visitors do not travel to a foreign city, but into the history of their own place.
Time Travel runs on the same hardware as all other CosmoProducts booths. The appearance of the booth itself is adapted to the era — historically inspired exterior design, matching colours.
The historical backgrounds are produced location-specifically before the season — real historical shots of the place as basis, AI-processed for the transformation.
We show you which historical eras can be produced for your location — with example images, local concept and revenue estimate.
