Description

Remote camera, networking, and monitoring infrastructure for BeHere / 1942, Masaki Fujihata’s augmented-reality exhibition at the Japanese American National Museum.

Presented by UCLA’s Yanai Initiative with JANM and Waseda University, the exhibition placed visitors inside the 1942 forced removal of Japanese Americans. IYOIYO supported the technical layer needed to keep the outdoor AR installation observable and maintainable, including remote streaming over cellular networks.
