In order to bring the 1963 March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom to life in virtual reality, Time magazine embarked on a three-year project to virtualize Martin Luther King Jr. and his iconic “I Have a Dream” speech.

Co-created by TIME’s Emmy-winning Mia Tramz and industry-leading immersive storyteller Alton Glass, with executive producer and narrator of the project Viola Davis, The March features the most realistic recreation of a human performance in virtual reality to date, through advanced VR, AI, film production processes, and machine-learning techniques.
Dr. Kings VR recreation is part of The March exhibition to be opened on 28th Feb 2020 at the DuSable Museum of African American History in Chicago, IL (USA).
