We came back from ENTER 2015 in Lugano a few days ago where we presented three papers on Augmented Reality, Generic Learning Outcomes and Distribution Channels. We met friends from previous years and made great new contacts.
The 22nd ENTER e-Tourism conference in Lugano, Switzerland attracted 350+ delegates from 54 countries. At the conference, the Google Glass Manchester Art Gallery project, led by Dr. Timothy Jung and assisted by Dr. Claudia Leue received a lot of interest from other delegates around the world. The collaborative research project was funded by MMU (KEIF) and was conducted in collaboration with Manchester Art Gallery, 33Labs and DevXtend.
The CARH was well-represented at the conference by staff and students, with the following research papers being presented:
- Leue, M., Jung, T., & tom Dieck, D. Google Glass Augmented Reality: Generic Learning Outcomes for Art Galleries
- Fountoulaki, P., Leue, M., & Jung, T. Distribution Channels for Travel and Tourism: The Case of Crete
- Lee, H., Chung, N., & Jung, T. Examining the Cultural Differences in Acceptance of Mobile Augmented reality: Comparison of South Korea and Ireland.
Furthermore, our very own Dr. Timothy Jung was invited to an interview with the Digital Tourism Think Tank where he introduced CARH’s AR research and its relevance to industry and business communities as well as future opportunities for the tourism industry.
