🌟 History All Around Us: Augmented Reality Honoring Booker T. Washington
augzoo® is proud to unveil a groundbreaking spatial augmented reality experience, “History All Around Us,” in collaboration with 3240 Entertainment. This tribute, dedicated to Booker T. Washington’s historic visit to Austin in 1911, comes to life at Wooldridge Square and the Texas State Capitol south steps throughout February in celebration of Black History Month. The visionary Kendra Dobson played a crucial role in the design and content curation for this remarkable project.
🎭 Award-Winning Voices Bringing History Alive
This immersive journey features the compelling voices of accomplished Austin actors, with Yesenia Garcia Herrington as the Narrator and the esteemed Marc Pouhé lending his voice to Booker T. Washington. Their performances add a layer of authenticity and emotion to this powerful narrative.
