of an immersive website and mobile application exploring the impact and legacy
of Reconstruction.
Reconstruction 360 is a web and mobile application that, for the first time, brings Reconstruction history to a 360° video platform. Created for the general public, students and educators, Reconstruction 360 is designed to increase understanding of the Reconstruction era for users of digital devices including computers, tablets and phones. It will contain six modules, each interpreting a different theme of Reconstruction history. To date, the first module, Land and Labor: Forty Acres and a Mule, has been completed and can be accessed at www.reconstruction360.org. For each module, the 360° video platform consists of a reenactment of a different aspect of Reconstruction history. The purpose of the immersive reenactment is to place the user inside the scene, creating a first-person experience. This emerging form of storytelling provides a sense of presence and place, inducing feelings of empathy, fear, conflict, and other responses that help people internalize difficult content. |
