Description

Visitors to the famous Gettysburg Battlefield face a dilemma: they can either find products that teach them about the history of the battle or ones that help them plan their trip. The Gettysburg Expedition Guide combines the power of multimedia with the knowledge of an expert to bring the history of Gettysburg to life. The combination of a multimedia CD-ROM, driving audio tour and companion guidebook gives the traveler a single comprehensive package for visiting Gettysburg. The guide was designed to accommodate multiple layers of interactivity—from a strictly passive learning experience to deeper levels of interaction with the CD-ROM and guidebook, high-impact visual elements, easy-to-use interfaces and directions—all with high entertainment value.
