Immersive Storytelling: Museum of the Hidden City Augmented Reality Walking Tour and Panel Discussion

2021

Through an immersive audio and augmented reality app, Walking Cinema: Museum of the Hidden City invites audiences to walk into the history of urban renewal in the Fillmore District of San Francisco using their smartphones. All audiencesin San Francisco and beyondcan join the project’s director Michael Epstein and Samuel Getachew, a youth poet narrator you’ll have met on the walking tour, for a live conversation and group discussion.

An academic and literary exploration of one of the darkest and most significant moments in San Francisco’s history. This tour is an engaging, novel way to learn about the city, all while keeping your distance from others. And the stories it tells — about racism, affordable housing, and the evolution of neighborhoods— feel profoundly relevant.” – SF Weekly
