The SCARLET Project at the University of Manchester can help libraries explore the exciting potential of augmented reality in making the most of unique and distinctive collections. As far as I can tell, most use of AR with collections has centred on the public experience, adding a new layer to exhibitions, historic buildings and the like. This JISC-funded project looks in particular at its use in undergraduate teaching and learning, with encouraging and inspiring results.
See the Project blog for full details of the team’s work. I reflect on a very useful SCARLET workshop in in this article on my blog.
