What an interesting app! All the data is available in the web now, but putting all together at a right time and location, means totally different experience... 
New virtual reality app Timelooper takes you back in history
LONDON — Imagine watching frantic shopkeepers busily extinguish the Great Fire of London, or sheltering from Nazi bombing raids during the Blitz.
Now, thanks to a new virtual reality app, you can travel back in time to be immersed in these events.
The Timelooper app allows users to experience key moments in London history with just a smartphone and a cardboard headset.
For example, when Timelooper cofounder Andrew Feinberg visits the Tower of London, a historic castle on the banks of London’s Thames River, he doesn’t queue up with hordes of tourists to catch a glimpse of the royal family’s crown jewels. Instead, he uses Timelooper’s time travel tourism app to experience the tower over 750 years ago, in 1255.
Instead of seeing a busy London tourist site, Mr Feinberg sees a medieval marketplace, a formidable fortress, even an elephant being led down a path.
