Abstract

W.E.B. Du Bois clearly understood that simply collecting data was not enough; rather, it needed to be presented in a way that was accessible and engaging for the everyday person. “Hello Black World” pushes Du Bois' model further by incorporating 3D visuals, augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR). This new exhibit allows viewers to easily compare the statistical 2D graphs of Du Bois' time with present information in 3D.
