Austin’s 3D augmented reality Black History Month experience: ‘History all around us’

In honor of Black History Month, Austinites are bringing history to life through a free augmented reality event. “History All Around Us” is available to see at the Texas Capitol’s South Steps and Wooldridge Square throughout February. This innovation allows viewers to experience Austin’s diverse history in 3D digital art design, historical interpretations, and engaging narratives. The free event is accessible through the Augzoo app for iPhone products. Kendra Dobson, founder of 3240 Entertainment, created the vision plan for this project, and it took off with artwork by Christopher Williams and the Augzoo team, including Michael Mares Mendoza and Neema Rezaee. Austin-based voice actors Marc Pouhé and Yesenia Garcia Herrington were also part of the team. This project is supported by the City of Austin’s Cultural Arts Elevate Grant from the Economic Development Department of Austin. The grant was awarded to 3240 Entertainment last summer.
