Report Bug · Request Feature

Lest We Forget has been in development for over 6 years. What started as a simple AR app made in my free time would later become a much larger scale project.

When I was able to have access to VR equipment for the first time in my life via my university, I realized first-hand the power VR held when it came to increasing user immersion in a variety of situations.

The major goals of this application:

• Teach a variety of ages about the WWII era
• Increase people's appreciation of history through the use of modern tech
• Allow those that may be unable to have access to museums an alternate method of learning

A list of commonly used resources in which I have obtained plethora of information are listed in the acknowledgements below.

• Unity
• VS Code Insiders
• Adobe Premiere Pro
• Adobe Photoshop

Please ensure you have one of the supported VR headsets in order to interact with the application:

• Oculus
• Other device support coming soon
