During the COVID-19 pandemic, "an immersive journey into San Francisco's 80-year affordable housing experiment" is made available. The organizers have made sure that the Museum of the Hidden City adheres to San Francisco's coronavirus policies. Since it is outdoors and socially distanced, this activity is perfect for those looking to be entertained or learn something new. Described as a "museum without walls," the initiative prompts individuals to download an app that is powered by augmented reality and accompanying audio. This allows for the experience to be educational in an immersive sense.
