Abstract
Augmented reality (AR) shows the potential for positively impacting learning about cultural heritage. However, current AR tools do not allow users (e.g., teachers, educators) to easily create their own experiences and lessons; there is a significant skill-barrier for producing augmented content. In order to address this problem, the authors created GLARE (GeoLocated Augmented Reality Editor), an open source and extensible AR platform hosted on Github. Utilizing overlaid imagery on live video feed using a hotspot and walking path design. The platform is designed to allow users to create tours by simply adding a media list and associated GPS coordinates. The underlying software architecture uses basic HTML, scripting, and the ThreeJS and Google application programming interfaces. This article describes the framework and then presents a case study of the system being used to create an augmented reality tour based on the events of May 4th 1970 at Kent State University.
