Memphis, TN - History in the Remaking

The City of Memphis wanted to highlight its history during the annual Memphis in May celebration. Since we didn't have the budget for a time machine, we settled on augmented reality instead.

People could download the Memphis in May app to learn about the many places of historical significance within the city.
