The Voices of
Oakland uses Augmented Reality (AR) technology to introduce
visitors to the history and architecture of
Oakland
Cemetery, Atlanta's oldest cemetery. Wearing headphones
and carrying a portable computer and tracking devices, the
visitors walk among the graves and listen to the voices of
various historical figures. The visitors can tailor the experience
to suit their interests through a hand-held interface. The
Voices of Oakland is a prototype created using
DART
(the Designer’s Augmented Reality Toolkit). DART was
conceived and implemented in the
GVU
Center at the
Georgia
Institute of Technology.
