Augmented Reality: A Study in SCARLET

Facilitators: Laura Skilton and Matt Ramirez from Mimas

The SCARLET project is pioneering Augmented Reality (AR) using mobile devices to enhance students’ use of special collections (SC) in libraries; bringing SCs into the age of the app. The workshop will describe the development process, team ethic and innovative work to evaluate AR’s effectiveness in helping students use new technology with rare, primary research resources. It will go on to discuss the ways in which we are using the methodology to transfer AR into other subject areas such as medicine and geography.
