‘The Journey Back’ – Now Free on the Meta Quest Store
Ash Cowan
The VR films we produced and created alongside our friends at the Illinois Holocaust Museum & Education Center are now live on the Meta Quest store, free to experience at home on Quest 3 and 3S, with Pico and Android to follow.
Built on survivor testimony, these films have had a real impact on visitors to the museum and in the work it does in schools. It felt like the right moment to widen that audience and bring the work to people wherever they are, rather than only inside the building.
A particular thank you to Agog for supporting the porting of these experiences from PC VR to mobile headsets. We couldn’t have done it without their grant and their vision for connecting audiences with XR that cultivates empathy and inspires action towards a fairer, more just world.
And a big thank you to the original team who made these films with us – too many to list, but special mention to directors Mary Matheson and Charlotte Mikkelborg, development lead Ollie Lindsey, head of video post Conan Roberts, and our producer Micaela Blitz.
