I am somewhat familiar with the topic of augmented reality
from the User Centred Design module I am currently studying in UCD. For the
purposes of this blog-post, I am going to explore the librARI application cited
in the article.
The librARI application is a very useful tool to show and
explain augmented reality. I feel this is going to prevalent feature of society
in the near future. The application is
effective in providing useful information regarding a chosen topic. From the
video I watched, it is clear that augmented reality is advantageous to its
users and is a feature that needs to be embraced by professionals. I was also
impressed by the digital interface for print books from touching the screen or
making certain gestures. Library professionals need to know the different ways
it can be used not only to develop the personal skills but to be able to show
other users its advantages.
I have been fearful in trying to understand augmented reality
in my studies but this article has cleared up some issues for me. The topic is
relevant to my future, and I am really delighted to have learned more about
augmented reality.
I'm looking forward to this 'thing' at the moment I am playing catch up!
