The DuSable Museum transformed the The Harold Washington Story exhibit into an immersive experience packed with supplemental information and interactive content, resulting in rave reviews from visitors. Within the first year, The Harold Washington Story bundle had been downloaded 1,870 times.
The project was such a success, it was selected by the Smithsonian Affiliations National Conference for a lecture titled “Re-Booting with Interactive Augmented Reality” presented by our partners at Avidity Technologies, Inc. The Augmented DuSable Museum App also set an incredibly high bar for the rest of Chicago museums as the first fully functional AR app in the city.
