About Antikythera Mechanism
Bringing the mechanism back to life, this special app allows the user to investigate in great detail how the ancients viewed the cosmos.
The crank input can be controlled by the point slider at the bottom, enabling clockwise and anti-clockwise motion at varying speeds. Use the swipe rotate and pinch zoom features to navigate in and around the mechanism. Another point slide is also available at the side for panning vertically. The Calendar dial can be rotated using the + - controls on the bottom left of the screen.
Two viewing modes are available for selection at the top; the external mode offers a detailed look at all the dials and the internal mode offers a close inspection of the gear arrangements which drive all eight outputs.
WARNING: Due to the high graphics requirements to run this app, please consider that this app only runs smoothly on the latest three generations of iPhone and only the latest two generations of iPad.

Don’t waste your money
The controls and sliders don’t work. Tapping the +/- does nothing. Tapping the arrows on the calendar does nothing. And I have an iPhone 11. Mist useless app ever.

Thank you
In a Getty Museum video it was mentioned there are Antikythera mechanism apps for the iPhone. Thus I came looking for this app. The simulation helps me understand aspects of the mechanism I couldn’t learn from drawings, articles and videos. I finally understand how the moon phase display works. I documented technology for Industry and the military for 20 years; I worked from engineering prints, aerospace assembly drawings, physical prototypes and 3-D computer models to understand and explain mechanisms/processes to our clients. This app is a treasure trove of information. The interior and exterior views are all I could have hoped for. I’ve put this app into a folder labeled Fun, along with an Enigma simulator, which shows you my idea of fun :)
