Welcome to the Augmented Reality Research Lab in Second Life.

This area is a virtual output of the AR/SL group in the GVU Center at Georgia Tech. This group, led by Blair MacIntyre (Associate Professor, School of Interactive Computing), Jay Bolter (Professor, School of Literature, Communication and Culture) and Michael Nitsche (Assistant Professor, School of Literature, Communication and Culture), is exploring the potential of Second Life (and other MMO platforms) as a platform for augmented and mixed reality entertainment, education and art.

Blair MacIntyre’s Augmented Environments Lab is currently building the AR viewer for SL, which will be used by the group to conduct our research. The principle architect of the view is Tobias Lang.

If you would like to know more, please contact Blair MacIntyre (blair@cc.gatech.edu), Jay Bolter (jay.bolter@lcc.gatech.edu) or Michael Nitsche (michael.nitsche@lcc.gatech.edu).
