Abstract:

During your visit to The Franklin Institute, you'll meet with exhibit developers and see the latest media installations in the museum. A highlight will be in the Electricity gallery where devices have been enhanced with augmented reality technology as part of a research project that seeks to understand its potential for integrating the experiential and interpretive aspects of hands-on science learning. Using fixed-position augmented reality, visitors interact with the device and with digital content simultaneously. Finally, a walk through the classic Giant Heart is an old media experience – but it's a rite of passage for every Philadelphian and for every visitor to the city of brotherly love.
