The document discusses the implementation of augmented reality (AR) projects in libraries, highlighting various technologies and examples like mobile web applications for local history tours. It addresses development challenges, including technical requirements and resource shortages, and emphasizes the importance of browser-based solutions. Additionally, it explores the societal implications of AR, such as privacy and social connectivity.

21. Beaver Tracks Oregon State U

22. San José Public Library’s AR Project local history walking tours in San José mobile web application Layar-based tour grant-funded through LSTA (California State Library)

23. Development challenges… Windows Server w/ Apache, PHP, MySQL Testing difficulties firewall/security virtual host configuration need devices and contracts for testing

24. Other challenges… No Android or iOS developers fit the bill Lack of time to do that work in-house BUT… We feel good about the decision to do this in the browser.

25. The result: I did an awful lot of the the development on MAMP on my own laptop, I used my own personal web space as much as I needed to, and I borrowed other people’s phones all the time.

26. What’s it made of ? Drupal 7 jQuery Mobile framework Google Maps API 3 As much HTML5 / CSS3 as possible Layar Hopefully more platforms as we continue

30. AR’s societal consequences connectivity ubiquity openness and transparency social vs. isolationist privacy concerns
