Development of web-based “public interactives” to provide cultural and social history for the AIDS Memorial Quilt.

We request funding to extend and expand functionality of the AIDS Quilt Touch media system to incorporate stories as a mode of user-engagement. If funded, this project will result in the prototype of an interactive digital narrative through multimedia tours (via an online platform). The tours will be designed around key humanities themes.
