Project SCARLET - Augmented Reality from Mimas

My tweets/ thoughts on the SCARLET presentation at #ili2012

  1. An overview of the project plus team members, including contact info.
  2. About Mimas
  3. JISC funded the project
  4. Used a mixed team - learning technologist, academic researcher, content specialists from uni library & students (feedback/trials) #ili2012
  5. See previous link for the people in the mixed team.
  6. Loving the mixed team, & seems to be something that contributed to the project's success. #ili2012
  7. Scarlet is logged in detail on the project blog - teamscarlet.wordpress.com #ili2012 (blog still live after end of project)
  8. Scarlet is all about adding contextual electronic information to objects. Fab for primary sources e.g. historical documents. #ili2012
  9. Great example of AR on a primary source.
  10. ZOMG! The Gospel of John fragment from JRULM - a legend when I was a young library assistant there 8-) #ili2012
  11. V excited that we can test some of the Scarlet content afterwards :) #ili2012
  12. Making an AR version of the fragment
  13. Really liking the reconstruction of the whole page the gospel fragment is from + click to get English translation of ancient greek. #ili2012
  14. AR = Augmented Reality
  15. Student feedback that AR should be contextual to an object & focus on info they can't get in any other way. #ili2012
  16. AR shouldn't be an after thought - should be at the centre of the experience to ensure it's not a gimmick. Fab tip #ili2012
