Problem
Traditional guided tours of historical sites often rely on in-person guides or static audio recordings, which can be inflexible, impersonal, and detached from the lived experiences of historical figures. Visitors seeking a deeper connection to Anne Frank's story may find standard tours lacking in historical context, personal narrative, and interactive engagement with the places she actually inhabited.
Solution
Anne Frank Walk offers a self-guided walking tour of Amsterdam that uses a smartphone as a personal guide, combining GPS-triggered multimedia content with AI-driven storytelling. At each of 12 significant locations, users watch and listen to AI-animated recreations that depict historical moments from Anne's life, such as her neighborhood, schools, and hiding places. The experience also includes an interactive "Talk with Anne's Diary" feature, where users can ask questions and receive answers drawn exclusively from Anne Frank's published diary. This approach transforms passive sightseeing into an immersive, personal encounter that connects visitors with Anne's story in a way a traditional tour cannot.
Target Audience
The primary audience is individual travelers and small groups visiting Amsterdam who want a self-guided, immersive historical experience centered on Anne Frank's life and World War II history.
