We have developed a "virtual time machine" for edutainment, which needs only commercially available mobile phones. In reality, the system just shows graphical images of a past scene within a given area, viewing from the location given by GPS and with arbitrary viewing angles. Users can virtually explore the past world with it. We applied it to junior high school students. They virtually visited a world of 1938, when a landslide disaster occurred. They were able to directly compare now and the past. In this paper, the design approach and evaluation of our edutainment practice are given. Our system raised students' motivations.
