Montgomery County, Maryland is home to the historic Oakley Cabin, which has been a part of the community since the 1800s. But starting in June, visitors will find something new at this location. The Oakley Cabin African American Museum and Park in Olney has partnered with a Frederick company named Emerging Tech Company of the Year to introduce augmented reality (AR) technology to enhance the visitor experience.
Gail M. Roper, TEBS Department Director and Montgomery County CIO, expressed excitement about integrating AR technologies into community spaces as it represents a modern approach to historical education and engagement. This addition of AR historical experiences is expected to create a new level of interactive learning for visitors.
The use of AR at the Oakley Cabin showcases Montgomery County’s commitment to innovation and preserving its rich history. For more information on this exciting development, visit the provided link. This initiative is an example of how technology can be used to enhance our understanding of history and create a more engaging experience for visitors.
