A New iPad App Uses Modern Tech to Amplify the Power of War’s Narrative

COURTESY OF DANFUNG DENNIS

In today’s digital age, our sense of reality is often hardened by the different forms of media pelting us from every angle, especially when it comes to conflict overseas.

Danfung Dennis — an award-winning mixed-media storyteller — wanted to undue our collective numbness with an innovative new iPad app that seeks to blend traditional photojournalism, artful film making, and delicate touches of virtual reality to create a stunning, immersive experience.

The result? A powerful new form of storytelling: ConditionONE.

He tells TIME: “The entire human field of view is captured on these camera systems, and the stories are edited specifically for the tablet application to create a truly immersive experience.”

Head over to TIME’s awesome new photo blog, Lightbox, to see a demonstration. It’s incredible stuff.

    So what’s the name of the iPad app and a link to download it? I checked and there isn’t one called “ConditionONE”.
