The app provides a tour into the Cahokia; it allows people to experience the world that would have been. One thing the app does well is navigation, using map and cues. Also, the use of 3D models to bring the past into reality is fascinating, it makes the tourist have a sense of being present at different scenes. It enhances access and accessibility to all interested in exploring the Cahokia and learning about the past. It allows access to those unable to visit the historic site an opportunity to view from their homes using the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Although, this app is intended for all who are interested in the Cahokia history and past experience, it excludes certain groups of people.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
First, it excludes those with older devices, as stated in the website that \u201colder devices may not be compatible\u201d. This means those with older devices who are interested in experiencing the Cahokia past will not have access to the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Secondly, it does not cater for those with hearing impairment. The video which explains the app does not provide caption\/transcription for those who may have hearing impairment. This accessibility feature should be considered as those with such disability may want to learn about the site before purchasing the app.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Also, links (like Facebook, twitter and snapchat icons) are too small for those with vision impairment to see at first glance. The sub-headings on the site also use low contrasting colors which maybe difficult for those with vision impairment.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
