Welcome to the AR guidebook blog!

So, welcome to the blog for my Major Project - an Augmented Reality Guidebook for the National Space Centre in Leicester, UK! Hopefully people will find this interesting, be able to quickly follow my progress, and maybe even comment or make suggestions on what they see and read (constructive please!).

OUTLINE:
The project, supervised by Prof. Mohammad Ibrahim from De Montfort University's Fused Media Lab and Neil Shorrock from the National Space Centre, involves me researching and experimenting with some different ideas relating to Augmented Reality (AR) and using them to create an interactive AR guidebook, which can be picked up at the entrance to the NSC and used in conjunction with different exhibits and camera stations around the centre to access and interact with virtual content. This is all being done as my Major Project for my Creative Technologies Masters course at the IOCT (Institute of Creative Technologies) at DMU.

So please keep following the blog, hopefully people will be interested to keep tabs on the project as it takes shape!

Couple of useful links to kick things off for those who are interested:
