Overview
To celebrate the 2023 Black History Month theme of Black Resistance, the team at ROSE created an immersive exhibit using augmented reality to commemorate moments of Black resistance in recent history. Users can tap to place the exhibit anywhere and walk along the iconic Black Lives Matter street art text, commemorating the 10th anniversary of the founding of the movement, while looking at and interacting with statues corresponding to these moments. By tapping the statues, users can learn more about the events through voiceover and captioning. The BLM text also updates with images related to the events for further exploration.
