The development of a recreation of the 1964-1965 World's Fair as a three-dimensional archive.

Come Back to the Fair recreates the 1964-1965 New York World's Fair as a fully interactive 3-D environment. This 3-D environment serves as a navigational tool for mixed media Internet based archival holdings. Images, documents and video footage are accessed through the 3-D environment permitting researchers to place the materials within the special context of the actual Fair environment.
