Rochester Institute for Technology at PIT-NY Regional Hub Activation

​Part of our weeklong event The State of the State: Public Interest Technology NY Regional Hub (PIT-NY) Activation!

​Our colleagues from RIT will be showcasing the work being done in the Vertically Integrated Projects (VIP) Program, a transformative approach to enhancing higher education by engaging undergraduate and graduate students in ambitious, long-term, large-scale, multidisciplinary project teams. VIP will be sharing two projects: “Peaceland: Choose Your Memory,” a role playing video game set in a fictionalized country recovering from a conflict that took place 30 years earlier; and Location-Based AR for Public History: a mobile augmented reality (AR) experience that digitally reconstructs the lost Clarissa Street neighborhood in Rochester, NY.
