V/AR-DHI Project Director Victoria Szabo did a keynote presentation this summer on V/AR-DHI related topics at the Association for Colleges of the Midwest VR Pedagogy Workshop. The talk, “Beyond Annotation (or Pokemon or Zombies) in Urban AR,” took place at Grinnell College, Grinnell, IA. on July 16, 2019. Of particular interest was the broader discussion amongst participants around the use of VR/AR in pedagogy in the liberal arts college context.
Beyond Annotation (or Pokemon or Zombies) in Urban AR
Recent hype around augmented reality suggests it will overtake VR as a key part of lived experience of the built environment in our everyday lives. How can academics, artists, and cultural practitioners take advantage of this new technology to design urban experiences that go beyond simple annotations, super-saturated adscapes, or fantasy games? This talk will consider alternate precedents, cautions, and inspirations for hybrid reality experience design in urban augmented reality experience design.
