EXPANDING THE LEGACY of the NATIONAL MUSEUM OF THE U.S. AIR FORCE?

EMBARK ON A JOURNEY BACK IN TIME

In honor of the 75th Anniversary of D-Day, the National Museum of the U.S. Air ForceTM will open a new, highly interactive, augmented reality experience, "D-Day: Freedom from Above" focusing on the 82nd and 101st Airborne divisions and their missions during D-Day. The exhibit will open Monday, May 13, 2019, in the Museum's second building.

This limited-time exhibit utilizes tablets running the innovative technology "HistoPad," designed by the French company Histovery. HistoPad is an interactive technology which will immerse you in the history of Sainte-M?re-?glise, Normandy France, during the Occupation and the summer of 1944. Through spectacular historically-validated 360? recreations, in association with the Airborne Museum of Sainte-M?re-?glise, you will travel in time to understand the key moments of this decisive battle for the success of D-Day.

The 3,500 square foot exhibit will feature twelve physical panels that will guide you through the experience. HistoPad technology will allow you to manipulate a series of 3D virtual relics, view period photographs and extracts of archival films, interact with animated maps, and learn the incredible destinies of some of our nation's D-Day heroes.

ENHANCING D-DAY EXPERIENCE

This highly interactive D-Day exhibit will allow you to experience the Museum's D-Day displays in an entirely new way. Within the exhibit, you will learn about the paratrooper experience. For example, the act of equipping a virtual paratrooper with gear gives the real equipment on display additional meaning. Presented in 7 different languages, HistoPad technology makes learning fun by presenting information in a manner tech-savvy youth have come to expect. You will interact with the history, men and equipment of D-Day, and will be drawn deeper into this pivotal day in history.
