Augmented Reality- Interpretation Cube (vAR) Prototype

A working Augmented Reality Demo at Derrynane National Historic Park by Vincent Hyland (Wild Derrynane)

I recently created a prototype Cube (vAR) as a method of interpreting the natural assets of Derrynane National Historic Park. The use of this new technology is a follow on to the already established Derrynane Seashore Nature Trail (a looped 1.2km trail) and represents the next phase of interpretation at the Derrynane site. 

​

The Cube uses 4 sides, each with a picture that triggers a smartphone app to play a video between the device and the cube. Up to 4 people at any one time can interact with the cube as long as they have downloaded the accompanying app onto their smartphone.

​

The video that you will watch is a 'working' prototype and was positioned outdoors at the site where the underwater interactions depicted took place.

​

This technology can be utilised right now and can become the first Augmented Reality interpretative piece along the Wild Atlantic Way. 

​

As discussed with Chris O'Neill, OPW Parks Superintendent and Josephine O'Driscoll, programme manager, Failte Ireland Southern Coasts, I propose a prototype be developed and deployed at the existing Derrynane Seashore Nature Trail.
