Walking Cinema: Murder on Beacon Hill
Untravel Media designed this iPhone application, based on the Parkman–Webster murder case, where John White Webster was accused of the murder of George Parkman. The case was the first one to use the budding science of forensics. The iPhone application was recognized to be the first iPhone application to be accepted to a major film festival,[1] based on the PBS documentary, Murder at Harvard.[2] The application is a mixed-reality storytelling experience, combining a roughly one-mile walk with audio, video,[3] a live map and location-based adventures[4] to guide participants through the story.[5]
