Robin de Lange presented on the potential uses of virtual and augmented reality in libraries. Some key points include:
- VR could provide access to digital collections and knowledge in libraries. Content could be lent out similar to physical materials.
- Libraries could teach media literacy skills around new VR technologies. VR acts as a "new portal" to information.
- AR could be used to enrich libraries by overlaying digital information onto physical spaces. The ARBieb project in the Netherlands demonstrated an example of this.
- Workshops were proposed to further explore opportunities for VR and AR in libraries and generate ideas and concepts. The number of participants would be limited to 15.
