The Dimensions in Testimony Theater uses 3D holographic technology and artificial intelligence to present genocide survivors answering questions about their experiences long after they are gone.
[15][16][17] Max Glauben, one of the original founders of the Museum, was filmed by the USC Shoah Foundation in 2018 using a 360-degree, 18-camera and green screen setup.
Glauben, who survived the Warsaw Ghetto as a child and was orphaned at 13 while in the Budzyn Labor Camp, was asked more than 1,000 questions about his life for his holographic projection.
