Abstract

This demo paper describes a project that engages cutting-edge free viewpoint video (FVV) techniques for developing content for an augmented reality prototype. The article traces the evolutionary process from concept, through narrative development, to completed AR prototypes for the HoloLens and handheld mobile devices. It concludes with some reflections on the affordances of the various hardware formats and posits future directions for the research.

Library staff remark on the tendency of visitors to stroll through the Long Room taking in general, sweeping vistas, ultimately overlooking fine details and archival treasures
