Abstract

The Veholder.org project is aiming for enhanced, innovative museum exhibitions, enabled by collaborative use of Augmented Reality. Complementing physical with relevant 3D virtual objects widens impact of interrelated collections. Objects brought together, from display or storage, provide blended environments for visitors and researchers. Veholder (Virtual Beholder, or Virtual Environment for Holdings and Online Digital Educational Repositories) is developing collaborations between suitable institutions. Early tests at the University of Cambridge are promising, while challenges such as calibration and scaling stress the need for shared solutions to blend collections. Following initial discussions with developers of IIIF, the International Image Interoperability Framework, about standards for digital library sharing of historical manuscripts and other disparate 2D images, we hope that working together can accelerate the process for a standardised approach to sharing 3D images. This could extend the concept of universal digital library viewers to incorporate and integrate 3D and AR images as well.
