30 years after the fall of the wall, we joined forces with the Berlin DDR Museum to let a new generation overthrow the wall - now in Augmented Reality. We built three iconic stretches of the wall in the Minecraft Earth - AR sequel to the popular game. Here, players could experience the wall on a 1: 1 scale in Augmented Reality. And to gamify the experience, they could even help to topple the wall with the iconic notch that belongs to the much-loved gaming world. Baggrund DEM DER GLEMMER HISTORIEN ER DØMT TIL AT GENTAGE DEN 29% af tyskere er født efter murens fald. De kan ikke huske den lidelse den skabte, og kan ikke forestille sig at det kan ske igen. Men desværre er grænsemure i vækst: Halvdelen af dem er bygget efter år 2000. Og det lave kendskab blandt Berlins ungdom er et reelt problem, ifølge Klaus Schrøder (Freie Universität): “Gentagne studier viser, at jo mindre elever ved om DDR, desto større er sandsynligheden for at de har et positivt forestilling om den.” Løsning RIV MUREN NED I MINECRAFT EARTH 30 år efter murens fald gik vi sammen med Berlins DDR museum for at lade en ny generation vælte muren — nu i Augmented Reality. Vi byggede tre ikoniske strækninger af muren i Minecraft Earth — A.R. efterfølgeren til det populære spil. Her kunne spillere opleve muren i 1:1 skala i Augmented Reality. Og for at gamifye oplevelsen kunne de endda være med til at vælte muren med den ikoniske hakke der hører til den højtelskede spilverden. UNDERHOLDNING MØDER UDDANNELSE Sammen med DDR museet skabte vi en udstilling et omfattede læringsmateriale rettet mod 6-9 klasser. Spiloplevelsen blev brugt til at skabe interesse for det historiske emne, og herfra dykke ned i et immersive undervisningsforløb om grænse-mures genkomst i vores tid. EN FORDYBENDE AR OPLEVELSE I MINECRAFT EARTH For at skabe en friktionsløs oplevelse, brugte vi Minecrafts egne Buildplates — en social feature der lader spillere inviterede deres venner til at oplevede deres kreationer side om side. Så med et enkelt klik kunne de fremkalde en historisk korrekt model af Berlinmuren i fuld skala. På dens oprindelige placering — eller hvorend du er. Det betød også at vi måtte bygge på præcis samme præmisser som enhver teenager i spillet: Ved at mine materialerne i den parallelle verden. Fordi at gøre muren historisk og arkitektonisk korrekt måtte vi bruge over 300 timer for at finde de eksakte byggesten. Resultat Projektet blev dækket over 200 gange i pressen i verdensomspændende publikationer fra Forbes over rejseblade til nichemedier om undervisningsteknologi. Projektet blev også både delt og fremhævet af både den tyske ambassade og UNESCO: “Tear Down This Wall passer perfekt til Unesco’s værdier: Uddannelse, Kultur og Kommunikation mellem lande. Derfor støtter vi det og deler det på vores platforme”. Anna Enemark, Generalsekretær, Unesco Men endnu vigtigere: Vores buildplates og undervisningsmateriale blev brugt af ungdommen til at vælte muren — og sørge for at en ny aldrig vil tage den plads. (English translation + Google translate) Background THOSE WHO FORGET THE HISTORY ARE DOED TO REPEAT THE 29% of Germans born after the fall of the wall. They do not remember the suffering it created, and cannot imagine it happening again. But unfortunately, border walls are growing: half of them were built after the year 2000. And the low awareness among Berlin's youth is a real problem, according to Klaus Schrøder (Freie Universität): "Repeated studies show that the less students know about the DDR, the more likely they are to have a positive view of it." Solution RIP THE WALL DOWN IN MINECRAFT EARTH 30 years after the fall of the wall, we joined forces with the Berlin DDR Museum to let a new generation overthrow the wall - now in Augmented Reality. We built three iconic stretches of the wall in the Minecraft Earth - AR sequel to the popular game. Here, players could experience the wall on a 1: 1 scale in Augmented Reality. And to gamifye the experience, they could even help to topple the wall with the iconic notch that belongs to the much-loved gaming world. ENTERTAINMENT MEETINGS EDUCATION Together with the DDR Museum, we created an exhibition of comprehensive learning material aimed at 6-9 classes. The gaming experience was used to create interest in the historical subject, and from here dive into an immersive teaching course on the return of border walls in our time. AN ENLIGHTENING AR EXPERIENCE IN MINECRAFT EARTH To create a frictionless experience, we used Minecraft's own Buildplates - a social feature that lets players invite their friends to experience their creations side by side. So with a single click, they could evoke a historically correct model of the Berlin Wall in full scale. In its original location - or wherever you are. It also meant that we had to build on exactly the same premises as any teenager in the game: By mining the materials in the parallel world. Because to make the wall historically and architecturally correct, we had to spend over 300 hours to find the exact building blocks. Result The project was covered over 200 times in the press in worldwide Forbes publications on travel magazines to niche media about teaching technology. The project was also shared and highlighted by both the German Embassy and UNESCO: “Tear Down This Wall fits perfectly with Unesco's values: Education, Culture and Communication between countries. That is why we support it and share it on our platforms ”. Anna Enemark, Secretary General, Unesco But more importantly: Our buildplates and teaching materials were used by the youth to topple the wall - and make sure a new one will never take that space. http://www.teardownwalls.org/
