If These Streets Could Talk
Selected XR Development Market
Information
When someone walking today in Budapest's Rumbach street says “Let’s get a drink!”, they are unaware that in 1945, it was that particular street that hosted the Budapest Ghetto’s last working water tap, providing the last drips of hope for 80,000 entrapped Hungarian Jews. Our streets hold stories, and you uncover them: If These Streets Could Talk is an interactive narrative AR documentary that –using holograms and localized overlays– makes the invisible history of Budapest’s Jewish district visible.
