On the 17th July, we set set up our demo stand at the get digital festival at the newly renovated Manchester Central Library. We presented our Museum Zoom application that was developed by our partners at 33Labs for the Manchester Art Gallery and showed off Google Glass. Mancunian Matters has written a great summary of the event and about us, so check it out via the link at the bottom of this post.
Here’s the part about us……
“Manchester Metropolitan University’s Creative Augmented Realities Hub has developed a new software, in connection with Manchester Art Gallery, which utilises Google’s new pioneering glasses.
The software provides those viewing artwork through the lenses with background information and directs them to other pieces with similar themes.
The applications of these technological advances were described across the board as a ‘new way of getting information that makes it more interactive and exciting.’
The occasion not only gave the public a glimpse into the advances of technology, but also the advances taking place within the Central Library’s itself.”
