INTRODUCTION
To younger people of the current generation, the First World War may seem like ancient history. For most visitors, World War 1 was something they had only read about in school textbooks or saw in Hollywood movies.
The National World War 1 Museum goes beyond that, bringing dry information and historical events to life, using technology to recreate the story of what took place in those dramatic years. Technology also plays an essential role in educating people, as well as commemorating the sacrifices made by millions. The experience is immersive and engaging, helping visitors understand what conditions were like.
The Museum exhibits also create a moving emotional involvement — something that keeps the soldiers’ memories alive in America’s official memorial to World War 1. Here technology plays a key role in creating a reaction.
