This is such a creative Lab project from the Library of Congress Innovator in Residence Jeffrey Yoo Warren. https://labs.loc.gov/work/experiments/portals/.
I discovered it via the Worlds Revealed Geography and Maps at the library of Congress. Blog - Experience “Hidden Portals” this May.
“At the sites of 5 historical erased Asian American communities, portals have been hidden in plain sight. When you approach, the portals will open, allowing a glimpse into virtually reconstructed, immersive moments from their pasts.
Providence | Portland | Hanford | Riverside | Truckee and at the Library of Congress”
I’d love it if anybody from our TPS Teachers Network visits one of these sites either at the Library or at one of the locations and posts here about the experience. I know 
Peter Pappas
has done historic work in Portland and published an interactive digital book in the Apple Book store Portlands Japantown Revealed. Is the Portland site close to you, Peter? Also folks at the Library, what is your experience?
I also wonder - How might students using Augmented Reality or other tools recreate something similar with primary sources in their schools or communities?

The TPS Teachers Network has an equal exchange of ideas. You know it's not a place where you're being judged.

My colleagues post incredibly fine resources and ideas....the caliber of the suggestions and resources make me feel that I take a lot from it. It's a takeaway. And I hope that I can give back as much as I get.

I am very glad that I discovered the TPS Teachers Network through RQI. Great resources can be hard to find out there on the internet!
