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.



Users could then visit the locations and watch life-like recreations of the events using the app's AR function.
