AR app takes you inside Canada's WWII Japanese internment camps

In many ways, Canada's Japanese citizens were treated worse than their US counterparts in WW II internment camps. They had their property seized, and many were forcibly deported to Japan or had restricted freedoms after the war. Canadian author Joy Kogawa, the National Film Board of Canada (NFB) and app designer Jam3, have detailed their experiences in a new AR app called East of the Rockies. Based on Kogawa's novels Obasan and Itsuka, it follows 17-year-old Yuki as her family adjusts to life in a Japanese internment camp during the war.
