| | 3 | I was approached recently by the director of a small organization that increases awareness of indigenous rights in new England. |
| | 4 | They were looking for new methods to provide educational information. |
| | 5 | |
| | 6 | Owing to the vast amount of local history that has been left out of many popular curricula, it seemed that a more visceral awareness could be generated by small technological mechanism. The phone buzzer motor. |
| | 7 | |
| | 8 | Having a phone based app give a buzz every time that a known or likely native settlement was passed by would be the start of raising awareness of just how populated the region was. |
| | 9 | |
| | 10 | The generator of that buzz would be a website that encouraged drag and drop placement of 3D objects from a library into a scene. This scene is given a geolocation and presented to the app user as a panorama associated with the gyroscopic sensor. In this way the app user could view an indigenous layer over their more contemporary "real life" view of the world. |
| | 11 | |
| | 12 | The school participation component comes when educators use the site and interface to create scenes for the local area, or regions of interest. |
| | 13 | |
| | 14 | It will be fundamentally enlightening to feel just how many family groups and settlements were in a region as well as making a simple comparison between the visual experience of history juxtaposed over the modern version. |

| | 16 | As a static panorama, overhead is reduced and download times for poor connections as well. |
