By that I mean those that appear, change, cease to exist based on factors such as location (2d and 3d), time, weather, previous experiences ( ar experiences you have already seen), personal knowledge and interests etc. Combine this with the ability to collect ar experiences so that they can be shared with others later and we start to create a more compelling immersive ar world.**************************************************************** website: http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/ Twitter: http://www.twitter.com/ukmcg Facebook: http://www.facebook.com/museumscomputergroup [un]subscribe: http://museumscomputergroup.org.uk/email-list/ ****************************************************************On 29 Sep 2017 2:52 am, "Neil Mathew" <[log in to unmask]> wrote:Hi everyone,******************************With the recent surge of interest in augmented reality (AR) I thought I would share some examples of the ways museums I work with have adopted AR so far.
If you're not sure what AR is, here's a quick video:
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PB7dUyxDjgQ Basically, it lets you create the illusion of digital content overlaid on the physical world when viewed through a phone's camera. It means you can drop virtual content on physical artifacts or paintings and let visitors view it through their phones.A few ways it's been used so far:
1. Digital placards - Augmented reality placards let you create multimedia placards, with personalized content that would never be possible with paper.2. Interactive self-guided tours - augmented reality lets you create digital guided tours without any beacons. i.e. the next generation audio tour.
3. Scavenger hunts - AR lets you play games like Pokemon go indoors in any exhibit space.I hope you all enjoyed this! If you have any questions about how you could leverage Augmented reality in your own space, don't hesitate to shoot me your questions! This is what I do all day :)
