The app that makes history teachers want to use VR in the classroom
Focus on History
The Relive 1776 app is a valuable educational tool that will enable students to gain a deeper understanding of the historical context of one of the most important events in American history. By using immersive technology, the app transports students back in time to witness firsthand the key events, personalities, and ideas that shaped the course of American history.
In the setting of historic Independence Hall, students will be able to explore the factors that drove the colonists to take such a bold and radical step, including the economic tensions between Great Britain and the colonies, the social unrest, and the political disagreements. By engaging in interactive simulations, students will gain a nuanced understanding of the motivations and perspectives of various stakeholders involved in this historic event.
Our app is versatile and is designed to cater to different learning styles and preferences. Students can engage with the content in various ways, such as watching historical reenactments, listening to period newspaper headlines, and reading primary source documents. By participating in interactive simulations, students can debate the reasons behind each colony’s decision and gain a deeper understanding of this fascinating period in American history.

How is our app different?
Role-playing historic events in virtual reality can help students to learn history in several ways. Firstly, it can create a sense of presence and emotional connection with the past, as students experience historical events from a first-person perspective. This can help to make history feel more real and relevant to students, which can increase their engagement and motivation to learn.
Secondly, role-playing in virtual reality can help students to understand the context and significance of historical events by allowing them to experience them in a more immersive and interactive way.

Father/Son Team
Scott and Alexander have always had a strong bond, fueled by their shared passion for virtual reality. Together, they have spent countless hours exploring digital landscapes and building intricate worlds from scratch. But it was their latest project that truly brought them closer than ever before. Using their combined expertise, they created an app that teaches American History through an immersive VR experience.
Working together on this project was a true labor of love for Scott and Alexander. They spent countless late nights refining every detail, from the visuals to the historical accuracy of the content. Seeing their hard work come to life was an incredibly rewarding experience for both of them. But what they were most proud of was the fact that they had created something that could help educate people in a fun and engaging way. It was a project that truly showcased the power of technology to make a positive impact on society.
