RSI is developing an augmented reality mobile application called RSI ARchive to provide access to archival audiovisual content from RSI in a novel way. Using AR and GPS technologies, the app will allow users to discover contextually relevant archival content linked to their real-world location. Metadata including titles, descriptions and coordinates will offer users an enriched experience of exploring the archival materials and learning about the history of different regions. The goals are to strengthen the connection between archival content and locations, make quality historical content accessible, and enable new collaborations with partners such as in tourism and museums.
