Museum edition of the Horizon report.
“The Marcus Institute for Digital Education in the Arts (MIDEA), the museum-focused branch of the New Media Consortium (NMC), released the Horizon Report: Museum Edition. This specially-focused edition of the annual Horizon Report series considers technology use in museum settings. The report identifies and describes six emerging technologies that will likely have a significant impact on museum education and interpretation in the next one to five years.” As with the earlier Horizons report, it’s so full of information and ideas that have done three posts, with this first one discussing the four key trends they have identified.
18 The following links provide examples of augmented reality in use in museums and other settings.
19 Chicago Museum of Science and Industry
http://www.msichicago.org/whats-here/exhibits/you/
An augmented reality musical game, featured in the Chicago Museum of Science and Industry’s permanent exhibition YOU! The Experience, turns a 2D card into a virtual keyboard. The user repeats three rounds of increasingly difficult note sequences. Afterward, the card calls up a visualization of the brain, showing its activity during the game.
