WWI Memorial Virtual Explorer vs AR Memory DC

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. There are 3D model stories, objects like WWI tanks, planes and over 50 short video documentaries about how WWI Changed America. You can listen to and even create and submit stories of service about your WWI ancestors that you can share with the world... and a whole lot more.

The National Mall in Washington, DC is at the center of national memory in the United States. It features several world class history museums, iconic memorials and many historical markers.
