This document discusses emerging technologies like augmented reality (AR) and radio frequency identification (RFID) that can be used by arts organizations to enhance engagement. It lists several AR apps created by arts institutions, including apps by the Smithsonian's National Museum of Natural History, the Cleveland Museum of Art, and the Seattle Art Museum. The document also provides brief overviews of beacons and RFID technology, and describes potential uses of RFID in arts organizations for collection management, access control, interactive experiences, and cashless payments. It concludes by thanking attendees and providing contact information for the Arts Management & Technology Lab.
