Hidden in Plain Site: Richmond
Instructions
Hidden In Plain Site: Richmond is a guided, virtual tour of distinct, but easy to overlook sites around Richmond, VA, that tells the story of the Black experience throughout history. Utilizing state-of-the-art 360-degree video and photography blended with archival historical images taken throughout time, the project breathes impactful life into examples of tremendous history without monuments. Your tour guide presents vignettes of these stories through audio narration or subtitle captions and will walk you through select sites around Richmond - each with unique imagery and interactivity.
To get the most from the experience, please ensure your audio is enabled (headphones are recommended) or select an option with captions. Each site may be viewed in its entirety by clicking with your mouse and dragging to look all around the 360-degree panorama. Scenes are connected using “hotspot” arrows, which, when visible, can be clicked to advance to the next site. Additionally, many sites have additional information and media insets which can be activated and explored by clicking on an appropriate hotspot.
Running approximately 16-20 minutes, the current presentation of Hidden In Plain Site: Richmond is intended to be experienced in a single sitting. A living, breathing project, it will be updated, improved, and expanded through time. If you experience difficulties or have questions or suggestions, please contact info@hiddeninplainsite.org.
