America 250 time machine: New app turns Lower Manhattan into 1776 Revolutionary New York

A new augmented reality app called 'Echoes of Revolution: NYC' allows users to explore Lower Manhattan's 1776 Revolutionary War history through a 90-minute walking tour. Developed by the Gotham Center for NYC History, CUNY Graduate Center, Ubisoft, and Sugar Creative, the app overlays colonial New York onto modern streets using geolocation and AR, highlighting sites like Bowling Green and Federal Hall. It launches in time for America's 250th anniversary on July 4.
