The Pickrick Protests: An Interactive Geo AR Experience

With AR's dynamic and immersive qualities, the Pickrick AR project aims to serve two purposes: to support the civil rights movement in remembrance of the African Americans who fought for equality and to educate students about this special moment in history via a pedagogical tool. With considerations of the Covid-19 pandemic, this tool aims to create an immersive and enlightening experience within the real physical space without the presence of a tour guide. In this paper, is an introduction to our design concepts, specifically in how to integrate multimedia information and create a user-friendly interface by using Human Computer Interaction (HCI) principles and the Sense of Place (SOP) Theory.
