This app lets you explore a historic building at Fort Snelling, Minnesota. Virtual Reality with a Cardboard compatible viewer is supported.

During World War II, the Military Intelligence Language School (MISLS) at Fort Snelling trained soldiers in the Japanese language to aid the war effort. Many of the buildings used for the MISLS are still standing, but are not open to the public. Because physical preservation and renovation are costly and take years to accomplish, researchers at the University of Minnesota have used a technique called photogrammetry to create a three-dimensional model of one of the classroom buildings (Building 103) from Fort Snelling’s Upper Post. This app lets you experience the space of Building 103, where you can navigate through a guided virtual museum exhibit that uses text panels, photos, and audio clips of oral history interviews with Japanese American MISLS veterans.
