This is the companion app to the WWI Memorial "Visitor Guide" and is a virtual tour of the National WWI Memorial now open to the public in Washington, D.C. NOTE: Note this app includes a full size 3D model of the memorial and therefore may take a few minutes to download. The WWI Memorial "Virtual Explorer" allows you to drop a scalable 3D model of the Memorial into your living room, back yard, driveways or classrooms creating a virtual field trip you can walk around in. But it is more than that. We have filled the Virtual WWI Memorial with information, experiences and discoveries about WWI.
