Read full description

The Sobibor Augmented Reality Exhibit offers an immersive educational experience featuring a virtual model of the Sobibor Death Camp, created by Thomas Blatt, a survivor of the Holocaust. The original model is on display at the Holocaust Museum LA. This virtual experience utilizes augmented reality technology to bring the model to life, engaging users in a profound, often unknown part of WW2 history. Through the power of augmented reality, this significant artifact is featured as a 3D model with animation, interactivity and a holocap virtual guide portrayed by actor Ben Feldman. By interacting with numbered buttons within the model, users can access a wealth of information, deepening their understanding of the camp's history and the courage displayed by those who fought for their survival. For the best AR experience: we recommend using this app on iPhone 11 Pro or iPhone 11 Pro Max and above, iPad Pro 12.9-inch (4th generation) and above, or iPad Pro 11-inch (2nd generation) and above. The App will still function on a range of other devices, but results may vary. Instructions for educators: turn the “Virtual Guide” slider switch off in the top left corner of the home screen. Scan a tabletop and tap the information icon in the top right corner of the screen. Tap “How To” and scroll down from the "Camp Positioning" screen to find information on how to plug your device into a monitor for a shared classroom experience exploring the Sobibor Camp.
