Beyond the Lab 2022 – Elevate AR
A team of four students from the Humanities Lab Fall 2021 – Humanizing Digital Culture Lab, inspired by their introduction to "distributed, place-based" experiences in the original Lab, has decided to break new ground by developing a software toolkit for creating AR—augmented reality—stories that uses any elevator car as a "digital window" into another world. With funding from Seize the Moment, an initiative of Leonardo, the Humanities Lab and the Julie Ann Wrigley Global Futures Laboratory, the group aims to ultimately publish an ElevateAR platform that any artist can use to create these immersive experiences.
