Cahokia Mounds, in my opinion, is one of the most important Native American ruins in America. Therefore, many of the app’s shortcomings severely disappoint me. When I first heard of the app, I figured that it was a way to remotely view Cahokia Mounds and see how it would have looked in the past. This would have been great for access, as a five-dollar price tag to view Cahokia Mounds from across the country would save many people so much time and money, however, this is not how it works. From my understanding, the app does not allow you to use it remotely, instead, it limits the user to use it in specific areas of Cahokia Mounds. Because the designers were so invested in the idea of AR technology, they failed to realize that the main goal of the project, to be able to view the Cahokia of yesteryear, could be done through a signpost. I will admit that there is one aspect that may be decently executed, that part being, the guided tour. This is narrated, so some could argue that this opens Cahokia Mounds to the blind, however this in only a half-baked attempt at redemption, because, let me remind you, the app’s main purpose is to visually show what Cahokia used to look like. Slap on top of that a five-dollar price tag and you get a novelty that adds practically no accessibility to the viewing experience. 

Got so mad that I forgot to read the requirements, haha. As seen above, I don’t think it does anything really well. It does not enhance accessibility unless you really stretch the term in relation to the blind. It excludes the blind, the ones who cannot make it to Cahokia Mounds, and those who cannot walk to name a few.
