Since 1994, USC's Shoah Foundation has been collecting testimonies from those who have survived genocide and other horrifying events. Begun by Steven Spielberg and inspired by his work on "Schindler's List", this foundation collected hundreds of thousands of testimonies and shared them with the world. After coming to USC in 2006, they have expanded into a multitude of directions, all aiming to reach as many people as possible. One of which, is their New Dimensions in Testimony project which captures testimonies as interactive virtual characters. They capture hours of interviews in massive light cages and parse the interview up into segments. Then, with the help of advanced natural language processing techniques (for more details on this see Theory page),  they simply play back the interview response that most closely matches what the user asks verbally. Together, this creates the feeling of a real conversation between a user and the survivor and makes the stories that much more compelling. They have since installed this technology in various museums and have reached thousands with this new method of storytelling. [5]
