BeHere / 1942
A New Lens on the Japanese
American Incarceration

Why does BeHere / 1942 have different file sizes?

When opening the application for the first time, BeHere / 1942 asks users to download additional AR content. This additional content determines the amount of animation the 3D models will have in AR. The smaller download size reduces the movement of most 3D models to just a second or two. The larger download size uses the same 3D models, but increases the amount of movement they will have in AR. We recommend users choose the largest download size possible. To experience the full animation of each 3D model, please visit the BeHere / 1942 exhibition at JANM. Animated 3D models require a lot of storage space. The full version requires about 30 GB of free memory!

How can I change the file size of additional AR content?

The file size cannot be changed within the application. To change the amount of additional AR content, please delete and then reinstall BeHere / 1942.

Can I update BeHere / 1942 to a newer version?
