A VR Experience: Survived to Tell, Be the Witness

Multi-Purpose Room

September 24, 2024

6:30 pm — 9:15 pm

The Survived to Tell virtual reality education tool, powered by ISRAEL-is, immerses viewers in the harrowing experiences of survivors from the Kibbutzim and the Nova Peace Festival. It uses a combination of extended reality, virtual reality, and artificial intelligence to present never-before-seen footage, real-life reenactments, and personal testimonies. This immersive storytelling experience allows viewers to witness the terror of that day through the eyes of the survivors and fosters a deeper empathy and understanding by continuing the communication and connection with each survivor. The tool aims to bring these stories to life and engage a broad audience, building on an already substantial digital following.

Come to Hillel between 7-9 pm to hear these stories and try the VR experience.
