About this app
Now you can bring history to life, in full color with our augmented reality monuments. Use Kinfolk to discover unsung heroes and check out our web portal to take a deeper dive into history.
Kinfolk comes preloaded with stories from 6 Black icons. Choose a figure from our menu to bring an augmented reality statue of them right in front of you. You can make them life-size, read their bios, explore their playlists, browse additional resources i.e. books, podcasts and discover hidden gems through our monuments web portal. Our web portal has primary source documents, historical pictures, art, and video for anyone who wants deeper context on our history.
Kinfolk is the story of our people. We start with monuments of people that should be common knowledge. That's just the beginning. We are building an archive that tells history from a perspective that you won't find in school. We are using art and technology to rewrite history in a way that resonates with the next generation.

Very cool and easy to use. Certainly would have enjoyed utilizing Kinfolk when I was younger to learn in a much more engaging way than most students are used to. It opens a fascinating new realm of pedagogical possibilities. Imagine taking your class of students on a field trip and being able to have each and every student focus on and manipulate their own lessons with their own hands as you add additional tidbits! Awesome app 👌

I am sure the app is amazing, however, I am not fortunate enough to experience any of it. I tried launched it twice on my Android Motorola G73 and both attempts crashed my phone spectacularly (green and blue horizontal stripes cover the entire screen, whole system all functions disabled, unable to do anything other than force shut down / I had to use the pin to push the sim card out so it actually shut down. Maybe my phone spec is too low for this immersive experience.

Awesome app! You can set statues and monuments AR style in your house or wherever. Great info on people we never learned about in school, but who are very important in our history. Amazing being able to walk around and see these up close!
