Mapping History of CCreative Place: An Augmented Glimpse into Connecticut College History, Tradition, and Transformation
By: Colin Forsyth '15
Advising Faculty: Andrea Wollensak
"Mapping History of CCreative Place" is an augmented reality experience map of Connecticut College. Colin worked with a new image recognition mobile application, that allowed the designer to create an augmented world. Colin’s tour featured visual and audio media related to specific locations on campus: the Barn, Cro, Palmer and Cummings; all selected to represent creative places on campus that were personally meaningful to him. Colin’s augmented reality program recognized a trigger image at each site and overlaid rich media on top of them: 3D models (created by Colin in MAYA), archival materials such as blue prints, videos and still images.
