Online virtual worlds bring history to life
UC Berkeley Journalism professor and recent Knight News Challenge grant recipient Paul Grabowicz and the students of UC Berkeley are on to something big. Their online video game, “Remembering 7th Street,” is a virtual recreation of 1940s and 50s Oakland that will allow users to explore the city as it existed during the jazz and blues era. Read Grabowicz’ interview with Anthony Wojtkowiak of Poynter here.
A similar project, Virtual Lower East Side, allows users to create avatars and take a virtual tour of the neighborhood.
