Unlike other researchers, my experimentation with these technologies is not limited to one program or method of delivery. I'm modeling with SketchUp, UDK, and 3DS Max Design as well as using video, web, and augmented reality to deliver content. In a previous post I shared some basic thoughts on Augmented Reality (AR) and Heritage, and continue to explore this technology. But, enough from me, let the list begin! [Note: as with such lists, this is under construction and I will update it - have a suggestion, please forward it to anthroyeti@gmail.com]
