Visit Macedonia - One day in a farmstead (subtitles)
One day in a farmstead is part of "Macedonia: from fragments to pixels," a special exhibition of prototypical interactive systems with subjects drawn from ancient Macedonia, the result of a collaboration between the Archaeological Museum of Thessaloniki (AMTh) and the Institute of Computer Science of the Foundation for Research and Technology -- Hellas (ICS-FORTH), hosted by the AMTh.
This system allows the public to visit an ancient farmstead that has been excavated at Asprovalta near Thessaloniki, by enriching with multimedia information a scale model realised by the AMTh.
By moving a white paper tablet over the areas of the farmstead, the visitor can view and learn more about the excavation finds and gain inside information on ancient rural life. On each tablet a magnifying glass is displayed. When the magnifying glass is placed over a part of the farmstead, related images, videos and texts appear on the tablet. There are multiple information "pages" for each space, which can be viewed by touching the virtual buttons at the bottom of the tablet. The application can accommodate several users at the same time. The colour of the frame of each tablet designates the language in which information is presented.
--------------------------------
Macedonia today is a geographical region of Greece, and the largest of the Greek territory.
It constitutes most of the geographic and historical region of ancient Macedon, a Greek kingdom ruled by the Argeads whose most celebrated members were Alexander the Great and his father Philip II.
In 336 B.C., Alexander the Great became the leader of the Greek kingdom of Macedonia. By the time he died 13 years later, Alexander had built an empire that stretched from Greece all the way to India. That brief but thorough empire-building campaign changed the world: It spread Greek ideas and culture from the Eastern Mediterranean to Asia. Historians call this era the "Hellenistic period."
The name Macedonia was later applied to identify various administrative areas in the Roman and Byzantine Empires with widely differing borders.
