Augmented Reality - Possibilities for Libraries

Augmented reality (AR) allows users to see the real world with virtual objects overlaid. AR in libraries could include placing AR markers on books and shelves that connect to catalog records and additional information. An example app called SmartLibrary uses map-based AR guidance to show a user's location relative to library items. Suggestions for libraries include using AR for book tours, providing contextual information and notices to users when they view materials on shelves, and reserving items through AR. AR tools like ARToolkit can help developers create a wide range of AR applications for libraries.
Augmented Reality - Possibilities for Libraries
- 1. Augmented Reality Possibilities For Libraries
- 2. What is Augmented Reality? “AR allows the user to see the real world, with virtual objects superimposed upon or composited with the real world.” (Azuma, 1997) Azuma’s Three Characteristics of AR: • Combines real and virtual • Interactive in real time • Registered in 3D
- 3. The History of AR • 1968: Sutherland creates first AR interface • 1997: The Touring Machine • 2001: The Real-World Wide Web Browser
- 4. Current Applications • First Mobile AR Web Browser • Maps, Lists, or Camera View • Wiki Worlds • Wiki Drive
- 5. Current Applications • Mix of Social and Informative • Thousands of Layers Available • Tweeps Around
- 6. Current Applications • Social and Entertainment Uses • Built-in Image Recognition • Junaio “Glue”
- 7. Current Applications • Most Interesting Current App for Libraries • “Happenings,” “Anywheres”, & “Super Anywheres” • Like Junaio with More Flexibility
- 8. AR Markers and QR Codes AR Markers QR Codes • Simple, Assignable • Standardized Symbols Locators Representing Text
- 9. Suggestions For Libraries Kelly Tenkley: • AR Markers on Books and Shelves • Connect to Shelfari, LibraryThing, etc. • AR Literary Book Tour
- 10. Suggestions For Libraries Julie Strange: • “A customer holds her device up to the shelf of books she’s looking at and it tells her that the library has databases on her subject and that on tuesday there is a guest lecture program she might be interested in. Or perhaps that the next in the series is due in the library next month and she can reserve it now!”
- 11. Current Example SmartLibrary • Developed by Oulu University Library in Finland • Map-Based Guidance System • Displays Person’s Location in Relation to Item
- 12. Further Tools and Ideas ARToolKit • For Developers • Vast Range of Uses Other Possibilities: • Cataloging • Shelf Check • Various Tasks
