Lots of Fun! - This was my first time with AR and it was very cool. For those that don’t know AR is actual reality where you get to interact with the people in the actual video. The graphics were great and the actions were too. Such a great way to experience history!

Re-enactment of the start of American Revolution - This is a great re-enactment of the 1770s history of American revolution. You can wear a VR and see 3D characters. You can protest against the British soldiers, and they might shoot at you!

Interesting but still in early demo phase - Fun activity but very limited in what was offered (push or throw a stone at the redcoats), no education aspect to it yet (though there’s a separate demo that gives some historic background. Good concept but needs to work on content

Really cool idea! - I really like the idea but the amount of things you can do is limited. It would be fun if the soldiers explained the history to you. Great work on the graphics.
