CDE Augmented Reality

The project required groups of students to study and explore a number of locations in their host cities. Students were broken up into small groups and asked to research specific locations in the cities they were staying. The assignment was entirely location based with students creating an augmented reality layer with these points of interest, uploading geo-tagged photos to a Google map and embedding this map into their blog. All these elements integrated along with their travel journals on the course blog.

INSPIRE will host a new research project, "ARstudio: Creating Opportunities for Multimodal Layered Learning through Augmented Reality" that has won an Australian Learning and Teaching Council Innovation & Development grant ($224000). The project will be lead by the University of Canberra with partners from Australian National University and Macquarie University. The project explores the application of Augmented Reality to expand our concept of learning spaces, to create new dimensions in mobile learning and to increase connectedness of learners in multiple contexts.

GR/DD has developed an innovative interactive augmented reality exhibit for the London Science Museum to enable visitors to understand the science behind climate change. The exhibit located in the science gallery present the visitor with a way in which they can manipulate a scene to alter the amount of carbon that was being released into the atmosphere.

The Smithsonian's National Postal Museum today launched a new augmented-reality experience that brings to life "Owney the Dog," mascot of the Railway Mail Service. The experience, offered via iPhone and Web applications, is the first multidimensional, augmented-reality experience triggered by a U.S. postage stamp.

his paper will answer these questions by taking the ARtours project of the Stedelijk Museum Amsterdam as a central case study. This particular augmented reality project was initiated by the Stedelijk, in collaboration with design bureau Fabrique, in autumn 2009 and runs to the end of 2011. It is generously funded by the Dutch Ministry of Culture (Innovatie Cultuuruitingen/agentschap.nl).
