Liberty Hall 360: Designing for Presence in VR Cultural Heritage Projects
Watch the award-winning Liberty Hall 360 VR short film and a discussion about the making of the project, the student teams that drove the project, and how the design team designed for Presence in the VR short film,
While designing tablet-based experiences for the Liberty Hall Museum Visitor Center, our research team discovered a historic event that took place in the museum - a wedding between John Jay, the first Chief Justice of the United States, and Sarah Livingston, Daughter of the first Governor of New Jersey. With this knowledge and 80+ interdisciplinary volunteers, the design team wove together historically accurate bits of drama and personalities with on-site 360 degree visuals to create a unique experience that showcases the Liberty Hall properties and grounds in a memorable way.
