PDA Event: Get Started with Augmented and Virtual Reality

Thursday, October 13, 2022 - 12:00pm to 1:00pm

Augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) learning experiences are increasing in popularity. Libraries are using this technology to offer augmented and virtual tours, to facilitate wayfinding, to create virtual art galleries, to develop programming, and more. In this session, you’ll see examples of how libraries are using AR and VR to serve and engage their users. We’ll talk about the current state of AR and VR technology including software and hardware. We’ll also cover ways that you can create custom AR and VR experiences right now, with the technology you already have, using free and freemium apps and resources.

Learning Objectives

Attendees will be able to:

  • Give examples of how AR and VR is being used in libraries
  • Describe the range of AR and VR experiences possible with existing software and hardware
  • Identify the software, hardware, and skills necessary to build AR and VR
