Augmented Reality in Public Libraries: Fostering Accessibility with Emerging Technology

For my Innovation Strategy & Roadmap paper I explore the idea of implementing an Augmented Reality (AR) map feature into the library, in order to increase accessibility. The map would guide patrons in-person or online to help with familiarization of unknown places, and to assist with item location.

This idea was based of the UC San Diego First Year Experience, which is an AR scavenger hunt that guides new students through the library. Students seemed to feel less worried about having to wander through a new place after their virtual tour, and it even added an element of fun to the process.
