Feedback from Summer Gu, Niantic Product Manager:

"The app did a great job using VPS to allow anyone around the area to travel back in time and learn the hisstory by experiencing by themselves; it would be great if the app could also overlay the surroundings to match the historical style and make it even more emmersive, and also incorporate more learning experience to the user."


Feedback from PatCat, Lightship Leader:

"I like this as an initial start to the concept! Setting up VPS alongside the semantic segmentation is a nice pairing and I like the concept of teaching about historical events in the locations they happened. Especially because this is better than the common "portal" style ones that just show an image, because it shows 3D animations and such in the location instead. Nice!"
