Assignment 2-3: 9News Denver reports on Minecraft for History & Culture

This article empathizes on the recreation of Bent’s Old Fort, one of Colorado’s top tourist attractions, that is to be captured by this new “minecraft” technology. I think this will not only benefit students by learning and creating the Fort using Minecraft, but also be very useful for learning and advertising purposes as well.

This program is also supported by Stanford University’s Architectural Design Program and I think it is really interesting to see how complex technology of reconstructing virtually in the video game Minecraft can become a real practice. I think this program can be further practiced and developed to reconstruct other famous historic sites around the world for greater benefits and purposes. I personally would use and visit such websites once it is available to us. It will be great to see the comparison between the actual site and the online virtual version of the site.
