Final Presentation

On Tuesday (April 29th), we gave our final presentation, which was live-streamed and recorded (linked below):

Wrap-Up and Next Steps

With that, our project semester comes to a close, and our team is celebrating our success! We delivered on a complete build and scoped gameplay experience that explores interesting elements of augmented reality as well as how to translate historical information into interactive AR. We sent our product to the team at the Portals Project (the Brownsville Perennial Project) that provided us with a model of Searights Tollhouse. They were very pleased and enthusiastic about our work, calling it a compelling application of Digital Preservation technology.

Moving forward, our website and Google Drive repository will serve as an archive of our work that future related projects at the ETC can reference. Additionally, we will send our work to the other historical organizations that we visited, such as the National Road Museum and Searights Tollhouse. Finally, we are considering working toward publishing our APK officially on the Google Play store for an easier download process.

Overall, the team is very proud of our work, and this semester was a great learning experience for all of us.
