Bringing the 1906 Atlanta Massacre to life through augmented reality presents both technical and artistic challenges—especially when recording technologies require performers to be confined to a small performance space. This session explores the creative process behind translating this pivotal but under-taught history into an immersive AR experience. We will discuss the deep research required to uncover the truth about the massacre and the role of media complicity, which holds striking parallels to today’s disinformation landscape.
