SESSION SUMMARY
How can new and emerging technology help tell an immersive story or help visualize information? Come learn about two exciting projects that are applying technology in innovative ways!
George Washington’s Mount Vernon launched a 45-minute outdoor wearable augmented reality tour with ARtGlass. Carroll County Public Library, The Union Mills Homestead, and Balti Virtual developed a partnership to combine augmented reality with a traveling exhibit to bring local history to life. Hear lessons learned regarding the design, implementation, and impact of using augmented reality to enhance a local history project and explore how these projects can serve as a model for future use of augmented reality in libraries, museums, and other organizations.
