Augmented Field Trips - 2009 TTIX Presentation
This document discusses a location-based augmented reality game called Pathways of the West that was created for the American West Heritage Center, a 275-acre living history museum and farm that receives 60,000 visitors annually. The game uses a mobile app called WhereIGo to provide visitors with location-based information as they walk around the Center, asking questions about the landscape, plants, animals, ownership, and activities allowed in different areas. The goal is to educate and entertain visitors through interactive and immersive gameplay that combines digital information with the real-world locations within the Center.
