The objective of the project is to develop and implement augmented reality services related to the American Civil War in Pennsylvania, and to modify soon to be released tablet personal computers to allow the general public a chance to experience the applications. The project's inception is planned to give ample development time in the run up to the Sesquicentennial of the Civil War, beginning in 2011. It is hoped that early support could generate interest in Maryland and Virginia.  • We also propose to construct stationary devices patterned after the "pay binoculars" often found at scenic overlooks. These devices will offer a virtual geographic view from a few hundred yards above the user.  •  • [|DocsTeach] **   **    Ready to use tools for teaching with primary source documents  •  • [|Activities | DocsTeach]  •  • [|National Archives Experience]   • 04 JUL 10   [|Museum Box Homepage] provides the tools for you to build up an argument or description of an event, person or historical period by placing items in a virtual box.
