Augmented reality and the Parthenon sculptures: Juno Rae & Lizzie Edwards (The British Museum)
The document describes an augmented reality program called "A Gift for Athena" used at the British Museum. Students use Samsung tablets to explore the Parthenon gallery and complete challenges about the sculptures. Teachers provided positive feedback, noting that the tablets kept students engaged and motivated as they accessed the learning independently. Some challenges included light levels impacting the devices and changes to exhibit layouts. The program aims to provide free learning sessions for schools using Samsung digital equipment at the museum.
