Session Title: Augmented and Virtual Reality |
|
Presenters: Wil McReynolds (Director, Augmented Marketing), CJ Palumbi (Director of Sales and Marketing, Augmented Marketing) and Petal Furness (Manager, Museum & Archives, Grey Roots Museum and Archives) |

Session Description: Before the digital media era, people relied on traditional media and social interaction as their main source of information and communication. If a person wanted to be entertained they would read the paper, flip open a magazine, turn the TV on or go out to interact with a real person. Since widespread digital access, people are growing up with everything they need to know at their fingertips. True social interaction and entertainment can now be achieved through a computer, tablet or mobile device. As professionals with 10 years of experience in this industry we will illustrate how Augmented Reality technology will bridge the gap between the pre and post digital media eras. Petal Furness will join the discussion to report on Augmented Reality as a project currently underway at Grey Roots Museum and Archives. |
