A Historic View

For a moment there was a sense of déjà vu and I thought the Papyrus was a refined View Trans. Apparently I was wrong; while the View Trans was a digital visual translating device, the Papyrus is a medium to view historical buildings and sites with a restored vision. Kinda was-before and is-now images using digital restoration techniques. For example, besides giving historic snippets about the Colosseum, the screen shows you how it used to look in its original glory. A very handy tool for tourists and researchers, alike!
