Interactive 3D Tour of LGBT Historic Sites Takes Visitors Inside the Historic Stonewall Inn and Eight Other NYC Locations
High-Resolution Immersive Experience Connects LGBTQ Community and Allies to 50th Anniversary of NYC's Pride March
NEW YORK, NY - June 25, 2020 - The NYC LGBT Historic Sites Project and CyArk have teamed up to create a 3D record and dynamic tour of NYC's LGBT history, focusing on nine different locations around the Stonewall National Monument -- including inside the iconic Stonewall Inn.
"This year marks the 50th Anniversary of the Christopher Street Liberation Day March, NYC's first-ever Pride march. Unfortunately, the realities of 2020 and the COVID-19 pandemic prohibit our LGBTQ community from gathering in large numbers to celebrate," said Ken Lustbader, co-founder of the NYC LGBT Historic Sites project and narrator of the tour. "The 3D model created by CyArk, paired with our historic narrative, is a powerful tool for anyone, anywhere in the world, to connect viscerally to the sites that represent our history."
A high-resolution 3D model, captured by CyArk using photogrammetry and LIDAR, anchors the historical narrative which takes visitors to nine different locations that illuminate the events of the history-making 1969 Stonewall uprising and the activism that followed. |
