The cahokia Mounds Augmented Reality (AR) app gives is users a fully immersive experience of the ancient mississippian civilization it a digital link between past and present. The app is use augmented reality to make historical reconstructions outcomes to life. Which is increases the accessibility and interest of an archeological site for people today. The app is also design to make decision and affect how inclusive and accessible the app is.
The app’s ability to increase access for viewers who might find it hard to interact with historical narratives is an advantage. For example people with limited ability to physically walk might actually experience Cahokia’s past. Also the AR technology helps us visualize places as they were a long time ago which helps the human brain fill in those missing pieces. Therefore Augmented Reality is a good representation in historical interpretation which is crucial and is important that indigenous voices are surrounded in how site history is conveyed. Providing accessibility and representation should be improved to add more options to give more indigenous perspectives and more prominence.This is a concern because people may not have access to technology. Overall I think Cahokia Augmented Reality software is an effective tool for enhancing history but modification can have an impact on inclusion.
