This project will consist of a documentary video chronicling the creation of the Snapchat app “Art of Intimidation.” The app invites visitors to aim their phone cameras at the [Harvard Museum of the Ancient Near East](https://hmane.harvard.edu) (HMANE) 3rd floor Assyrian palace reliefs, bringing them to life digitally, restoring ancient colors with animated figures, sound effects, and an Assyrian palace guard “avatar” to inform and serve as a tour guide. **See a work-in-progress concept demo of the app in action:** Share on:- [ Facebook ](#) - [ Twitter ](#) - [ Linkedin ](#)
