WHAT HAPPENS HERE?

We’re a transdisciplinary group of faculty and students using creative technologies to re-interpret VT history. Learn about our Augmented Reality tour of Solitude. Check out digital exhibits on student protests in the age of Vietnam; the enslaved people who lived and worked on this land; and more.

WHAT WAS THE PROCESS?

We’re funded by the University Council on VT History. We assembled a team of faculty and students from history, computer science, education, visual arts, and the libraries—to pool our expertise, knowledge, and methodologies to create truly transdisciplinary projects. We meet weekly to share ideas and provide feedback from our different disciplinary perspectives. We’ve used historical research, Augmented Reality, projection mapping, and more to reveal new perspectives on the university’s past. Learn more.
