In collaboration with Terence Clark, Matthew Betts, and Andrea Gilchrist of the Canadian Museum of Civilization, Assistant Professor of Digital Humanities in the Department of History Shawn Graham's First Year Seminar 1405a, 'Digital Antiquity' class produced an augmented reality pop-up book of artifacts from the museum's storerooms.
Graham has used the platform 123D Catch to transform one-dimensional images into three-dimensional models, and then the Junaio augmented reality browser, from an otherwise ordinary book into an intimate, three-dimensional experience that allows the viewer to interact with the artifact as an object, as if they were viewing it firsthand. All you need is a Smartphone.
