What’s Next to Digitise? | newcurator
'I’ve alluded to this many times; AR would allow for more information to be “connected” to an object, and I left it at that. You could take a painting or an archaeological treasure and surround it with extra bits of media, floating text boxes, video or maybe a ghostly hyperlink to a collection database entry (if you’re unimaginative).
Stuff that you could do on paper and screens, ultimately. Oh, you could design a better UI to hold the information. Historically, museums aren’t interested in that. Something like AR that smells a bit like an “optical Internet” (a phrase Bruce Sterling rightfully sneers at), it’s most likely going to be a bought product or outsourced to a freelancer. Few museums will want to get involved with designing that architecture. They’ll want to buy something they can fill. So what can AR do for collections management?'
Visual Dictionary Online
MARS annotation: "Visual dictionaries allow users to match images to words. In this stunning online version, 6,000 illustrations and twenty-thousand full definitions are included from all aspects of life. Access is provided two ways: users may browse by broad themes such as food, architecture, machinery, or sports or they may search using the index search box. Students might search for illustrated science topics like cicadas and plant cells, while homeowners can surf through the House or Gardening sections. With pronunciation audio clips, the Dictionary is aimed at English learners and translators. Weaknesses include animated advertising, small typeface, a distracting corporate logo watermark, and difficulty working in older browsers. This dictionary is the place to go for accurately labeled, detailed illustrations of everyday objects from soup to nuts."
