What if you could step into your father’s first day of college? Or walk through the moment a neighbor decided not to give up? Echos is a living VR archive of everyday heroes: real people whose stories are captured, reconstructed, and made explorable through immersive technology.

Alongside icons like Katherine Johnson, you’ll find engineers, artists, and community members whose contributions have never appeared in a textbook. Designed for and with high school students, Echos asks a simple question: what if inspiration didn’t require distance?
