About the event

We have partnered with Metcalf Archaeological Consultants and Factor Earth on a project that is changing how we tell stories of the past by using technology to create an immersive experience. Metcalf started Factor Earth, which is responsible for developing the virtual technology for Factor Earth Lite. Below is a statement by Factor Earth and how their technology is changing the way we "interact" with history.

"Factor Earth is an employee-owned software development company that  invents and develops technologies to reveal more about the stories and  places we all love. Our mission is to make the inaccessible easy to  reach and simultaneously impactful. We envision an interactive,  immersive world where anyone can learn more, do more and share  meaningful experiences to create lasting impressions. Our suite of apps  make the world easier to explore by offering secure, interactive and  engaging environments for businesses, professionals and the public to  manage and display heritage content. Our public app, Factor Earth Lite,  is designed for institutions that steward cultural and environmental  heritage to share experiences both on location using augmented reality  (AR) or from the comfort of their user's home with Virtual Reality (VR).  Content creators are able to track user engagement and understand what  content resonates with their audience as well as creating new  opportunities for economic development for your institution and the  communities you serve. Factor Earth Lite is currently developing  experiences for our soft launch happening at the end of this year [2020]. We're  excited to be pioneering a new way for the public to explore our shared  heritage and interact with the world."

Community Connections is contributing a historical walking tour that we have created for the 16th St. Mall in downtown Denver, Colorado. We believe that projects like this will change the way we connect in our communities through sharing historical experiences together. This is a free public resource for anyone who wants to join!
