1968 was a unique moment in the life of downtown Manhattan, and a year that is said to have changed the world.
By creating a site-specific cinematic AR time-travel experience, we are able to transport users back to 68' Washington Square Park as they encounter those who waved protest signs at the same place, and often on behalf of the same values.
This Project is being developed by Hadar Ben-Tzur and I through a fellowship by NYC Media Lab and A+E Networks, with partnership with NYU Library Archives. The storytelling and research is a collaboration with Joana Evans.
The iOS app will be launched January 2019.
