This team's goal is to produce a fully functioning augmented reality app to help NYU students access library resources in one place. This will include resources such as an augmented reality process for a library tour, study room reservations, e-textbook access, and many other resources. As this project progresses, we hope to extend this beyond Bern Dibner and make other augmented reality applications for other libraries on and off-campus. 

The team will have to work on solutions to:

  • Bring together information from the multiple systems the library uses to contain its catalog
  • Determine how to integrate augmented reality into the library
  • Image recognition for discovery
  • Human-centered design
