German Traces NYC: Use Your Smartphone To Explore German Heritage in New York City

From http://www.germantracesnyc.org/about.php

German Traces NYC is mobile, augmented reality experience designed to let learners explore German cultural heritage in New York City. The application makes use of archival documents, photographs, and multimedia narratives to bring to life to this significant thread of New York City and United States history.

You can use a smartphone or your desktop computer to see a map of the city. When you click on a point of interest, you’ll find a short article and a video giving the history of that place.

The German Traces NYC website is available at http://www.germantracesnyc.org
