Lost Waters Project: Virtual and Augmented Reality Event

A celebration of history & landscape!

Poster for Lost Waters Virtual Reality, Augmented Reality, and Parade Event

Did you know that a stream used to run across the South Oval and alongside Mirror Lake? The Lost Waters project has been investigating the disappearance of Neil Run stream from this landscape all year, and will be sharing the results of this research through virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) on Earth Day 2025. Come learn more about our local landscape history, and see what this place might have looked like over 100 years ago through our virtual reality tent and story trail.

This event will connect with the Living Art and Ecology Lab’s 2025 Earth Day Parade at 4:30pm on the 22nd. We will be meeting on the South Oval behind hale Hall, following the path of old Neil Run from Mirror Lake to Iuka Ravine– more information on the parade can be found here.
