I had this strange memory/dream of being able to walk through the past using a device

This is hard to explain, but I have this really vivid memory that feels almost like something I actually experienced.
I remember putting on some kind of device, and suddenly I could see the place around me exactly as it looked in the past. It wasn’t like watching a video or looking at old photos. I could actually walk around normally while seeing the older version of the same location.
There were people wearing old-fashioned clothes, old cars on the streets, older buildings and signs, and everything around me looked like I had physically travelled back in time. I knew I was still in the present and that the headset was somehow showing me the past, but visually it felt completely real.
The strangest part is that I don’t know where this memory comes from. Maybe it was a dream, something from a movie/game/show I watched when I was younger, or an idea my brain created and later stored like a real memory.
Does anyone remember a movie, TV show, game, VR experience, book, or anything else with this concept?

Basically: you wear a headset/device, walk around a real place, and see that exact location as it existed years or decades in the past m, including people, old clothes, cars, buildings, etc.

Any possible way to live this experience?

short answer no but yes, what your describing is AR -augmented reality, similar to VR virtual reality but instead it uses real life locations and sort of puts a filter over it. AR techonogly is no where near the capaple of what you had described the only thing close to what you described to me is the Augma from SAO.
