Introduction
• What is Augmented Reality? (AR)
• Blending of virtual data with what we see in the real world
![Page 3: Augmented Reality “It’s Like Real Life…. But Better!” Kellie Gerson](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032521/56649d5e5503460f94a3e343/html5/thumbnails/3.jpg)
Haven’t I seen this before?

Where did it come from?
![Page 5: Augmented Reality “It’s Like Real Life…. But Better!” Kellie Gerson](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032521/56649d5e5503460f94a3e343/html5/thumbnails/5.jpg)
What will I need?
• Device• Browser• Either:
– GPS– Marker
![Page 6: Augmented Reality “It’s Like Real Life…. But Better!” Kellie Gerson](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032521/56649d5e5503460f94a3e343/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
What will I need?
o Device (i.e. iPhone or Android)oCamera (provides view to see and
“examine” real-time object)o Internet Access (provides access to online
information)oGPS and/or Compass (optional for location
awareness)

What else will I need?
o Augmented Reality Browser
oSoftware that displays a layer of information about the object on the device’s screen.
oMany AR Browsers rely on knowing your location

What else will I need?o Location Awareness
o GPS coordinates may be used to find information about an object based on a specific location (a.k.a. geotagged information).

More Options
• Markers (i.e. QR Code), or other visual cues can be “scanned” to trigger text, sound and visuals regardless of your location. (like a barcode!)
• Available for free on websites such as Delivr.com
![Page 13: Augmented Reality “It’s Like Real Life…. But Better!” Kellie Gerson](https://reader030.vdocuments.us/reader030/viewer/2022032521/56649d5e5503460f94a3e343/html5/thumbnails/13.jpg)
How can this be useful in the Academic World?
North Carolina State University’s WolfWalk
• Enables users to explore the University’s history using their mobile device
• Visit 90 “geotagged” sites on the NCSU campus and view historical images from NCSU Special Collections digital archives

How can it be used in the Evans Library and Library Instruction?
• Our very own Augmented Reality Evans Library tour!
• Scan a “marker” on the Evans Library building tofind out about hours, special events, etc.
• Scan a“marker” on the Government Documents shelf to link to the Federal Depository
website
• Scan a “marker” on a Library of Congress Classification sign to link to an online tutorial about how to understand LCC.
• Scan a “marker” on a poster promoting COM 2012 to link to a blog about the course.

What are the Drawbacks?
• Cost of hardware
• Digital Divide: Not every student is a technologically-savvy student.
• Still a work in progress
• Some applications lack educational value
• Uses for online students are limited

What are the Benefits?• “Augmented Reality has strong potential to
provide both powerful contextual, in situ learning experiences and serendipitous exploration and discovery of the connected nature of information in the real world.”

What are some more benefits?
• Engages many styles of learning
• Enhances learning with the use of technology
• Creates a richer learning experience within a real-world physical context
• Helps students to take an active role in gathering and comprehending information
