Extracted Abstract:

— Augmented Reality (AR) goes beyond conventional methods of engagement with the public. It offers an interactive method to expand visualization techniques in civic engagement necessary for museum exhibitions that are focused on cultural and social issues. This paper discusses four AR projects conducted by a partnership between a history museum and a university in the City of Charlotte, USA. These projects, which utilize a variety of AR technologies, support a series of community events that are aimed at expanding overall public participation with a goal of increasing awareness of neighborhood history through data visualization and story- telling. Keywords— Augmented Reality, immersive technologies, civic engagement, data visualization, Geographic Information System I.
