CHICAGO ØØ: A Century of Progress — virtual reality app

Chicago00: A Century of Progress is a virtual reality experience of Chicago's 1933 World’s Fair. Using historical photos taken from the fair's 628 foot Sky Ride and new drone photography, audiences are transported along the route of the Sky Ride cable cars high above the fair.

A unique tour of the fleeting and sensational city within a city that attracted nearly 50 million visitors to the shores of Lake Michigan in the midst of the Great Depression: the free VR app includes a gallery of more than 60 captioned photographs.

About the Chicago 00 project:

The Chicago 00 Project is a partnership between the Chicago History Museum and filmmaker Geoffrey Alan Rhodes to produce and publish a series of site-specific, interactive, immersive multimedia experiences designed to showcase the Museum's film, photo, and sound archive and share Chicago's stories in new and unique ways.

All Chicago00 augmented and virtual reality experiences are free. Each episode explores this new medium for sharing Chicago's rich media archives with the public: history embedded in the objects and places of our city.
