Augmented Reality (AR) is revealing inspiring narratives of the achievements of oppressed communities and correcting official narratives that ignore or minimize the painful but vital stories of harms and oppression.
Explore how AR technology is rescuing sites associated with slavery, genocide, and other atrocities from obscurity, bringing them back into public memory. Hidden by parking lots, erased by business developments, and obscured for tourist appeal, these sites are now being revealed in their historical context.
Learn from an AR pioneer as they showcase examples of how this technology can emotionally and intellectually connect users to the undervalued wisdom of our past. Join us in exploring the potential of AR in reshaping historical narratives and promoting a more inclusive understanding of our shared history.
