13. AURASMA
Allows you to decide what images trigger the interaction.
Discover:
• Bring tagged images, objects and even physical locations to life
with interactive digital content, such as video, animations, and 3D.
These augmented reality experiences are called Auras.
• Look out for the app’s ‘A’ logo in magazines, posters, books,
apparel, product packaging, and much more! Wherever you spot
the ‘A’, there’s an Aura for you to discover. Simply open to the
app’s viewfinder (bottom-center menu button) and point it at your
target to unlock the experience.
• Browse the Explore and Featured sections of the app to find the
latest and most popular Auras.
Create:
• Make your own Auras and share them with friends and other
Aurasma users.
• Build Auras using your own photos and videos, or alternatively,
select from thousands of digital animations available on the
platform.

for shelf reading &
inventory management
Augmented Reality App for Shelf Reading via YouTube user Bo Brinkman
This is something that Steve Denning said at the Opening Keynote of the Computers in Libraries conference this year.
Technology is changing daily. The first iPad was introduced only 5 years ago. In 2011, the iPad two featured a front and rear-facing camera. Google Glass was introduced in 2013. As technology becomes more and more accessible, we are seeing more and more innovation. We are steadily moving towards no interfaces. As this slides illustrates, back in 1989 this is where we thought we would be. With Augmented Reality, the future is now.
At the 2015 Consumer Electronics Show, augmented reality and wearable technology was highlighted as a growing tech trend that will see increased visibility in the next year. Mark Zuckerberg of Facebook has also been quoted as saying that augmented reality is the future of computing. Training staff on using this technology will help to improve service for education, marketing, and patron interactions.
The floating banner during the swimming matches….the orange and blue lines on the football field to show where the first down and scrimmage line are. “In this example, real objects and places such as the players and the field are mixed in with computer-generated objects to create an augmentation of reality that enhances the viewer’s experience”-augmentedviews.com
In 2014, Google acquired World Lens, the augmented reality translation app. The technology has been integrated into Google translate where you take a picture and the text in the image is translated for you. I have tried it to scan manga and it works to an extent, but is much better with printed text than stylized text like handwriting.
While there are many different versions of augmented reality glasses or goggles out there, all you really need is a smart phone or tablet with a rear facing camera.
Or simply some cardboard and cutting skills to pair with your phone. You can also purchase the cardboard pre-cut with NFC integration for around $30. It might be worth getting it just for the integration with the Google Expeditions app that will allow you to take virtual fieldtrips around the world. But that is virtual reality, not augmented reality.
Many of the features cost additional money.
Currently used by the MLB.
Most popular user-generated Auras include adding 3D dinosaurs to your street, sending a video message on a greetings card, leaving hidden clues in a treasure hunt, or adding information to classroom materials.
You can also request a version of Aurasma skinned with your own branding.
So why does it matter to libraries? It is storytelling…
We have actually been talking about AR in libraries since way back in 2011. So now we are half-way through 2015 and how is it being used?
Developed as part of a partnership between the Los Angeles Public Library and the University of Southern California Annenberg School for Communication and Journalism. Unfortunately, the AR software they were using was Metaio Creator which has just been bought out and shuttered by Apple. No word yet on if and when they plan to release it back into the wild.
One of the things they did through this project was to make rare books accessible through the AR app . By scanning the bookcover of The story of the Three Bears, a video will pop up of a staff member telling the story from the book paired with tis illustrations. Scanning the Peacock illustration open a 3D book that contains other illustrations of birds.
Scan Jose is a mobile website and augmented reality browser that allows you to experience San Jose's history like you never have before. Using this website, you can view historic images from the collections of the San Jose Public Library and the Sourisseau Academy while actually visiting the locations those pictures were originally taken in. We invite you to write comments and add to the collective history of these important parts of San Jose's past. You can also view any of these stops in 3D with the Layar augmented reality browser. To do this, visit the iTunes app store or the Android Marketplace, download the Layar app, and search for 'Scan Jose'.
The steps are very similar to that of a booktalk. Use these interactive bulletin boards to host activities, book talks, or “commercials” for your library.
Developed by Miami University. This app is still being developed, but it is free to download from the android or apple app stores. While they are in the alpha stages for their self reading app features, the inventory management feature is still under development, but this app allows for lightning fast shelf reading.
Part of this overview was to share resources with staff so they could become familiar with innovative technology. Resources were curated.
And tutorials were also provided so that staff could explore on their own. Later in this presentation, Trina and Conni will share more about training for AR and some examples of how it can be used in the library.
