Ocoee Mobile Showcase
Project Development: A Geo-located History Tour
The Ocoee Mobile Showcase is a project developed by a group of graduate students, myself among them, at UCF’s Center for Emerging Media. The website is meant to be viewed via smartphone in the Orlando suburb of Ocoee, where racial violence boiled over during the election year of 1920. Like a traditional tour, each stop features a bit of the story, only this time with video, voice acting and music.
