Put the Apollo 11 mission on your living room rug or classroom with this well design AR (augmented reality) experience. Besides the ability to watch the launch and mission, you can play six mini-games that recreate key parts of the mission. The app is organized around four chapters -- Launch (witness the fully-synchronized augmented retelling of the Saturn V rocket launch); Track: Follow the Apollo 11 mission in real time with archival NASA footage from July 16–20, as it makes its five-day journey to the moon; Log: Discover JFK’s vision for the space program and Apollo 11 insider facts through education multimedia experiences and Play: Test your JFK knowledge with six games that include landing the lunar lander on the moon surface and collecting moon rocks.
