We carry it with us" James BaldwinThe Custom House, the origin site for the Juneteenth Holiday, has challenged the core idea of the museum experience. This historic location is undergoing a digital transformation that expands its physical footprint onto a global stage. To execute this vision, a tech consortium (led by Rypplzz) will deploy a patented technology (InterLife + LightPlay Spatial Browser) that turns the air into a secure and intelligent environment. Each exhibit immerses and engages visitors by activating digital content at physical locations (on-site and offsite simultaneously). This dynamic technology breathes new life into the archives of history and sets it free to enable virtual access at any physical coordinate worldwide.
