It would have been wonderful to have a smart window showing not just the digital facts (who was where, what was where) but of how it came to be there; its flow over time, and where it was going. To see not just the present but to see through the layers of time as well...
Wearing my archaeology hat, this is just the sort of thing that I'm interested in from a couple of perspectives.
1. The use of AR on sites to display your present view as it would have looked at a certain time in the past, a populist example: Stonehenge without the stone megaliths.
2. The use of AR to help us to understand how past societies experienced individual sites and the inter-site relationships. Your average Roman didn't have access to Google Maps to visualise spatial relationships as we do. Viewsheds, topographical prominence models, AR can help to simulate the view a landscape gave in the past.
Getting late here, more tomorrow, Cheers, Andrew _______________________________________________ Geowanking mailing list [email protected] http://lists.burri.to/mailman/listinfo/geowanking
