Virtual Buffalo Bill’s Wild West

Virtual Buffalo Bill’s Wild West a multiplayer virtual world that simulates Buffalo Bill Wild West and Congress of Rough Riders, a traveling exhibition that presented authentic reenactments of frontier life in the American west to audiences around the world. This digital project is based upon the records of the Wild West’s 1899 performance in Muncie, Indiana and provides users with access to source materials that document both the show itself and popular responses to it. Built in Unity 3D using custom software created by IDIA Lab, the Virtual Wild West is being produced for the Buffalo Bill Center for the West in Cody, WY and will also constitute a module within the Virtual Middletown simulation project.
