Augmenting experiences — A bridge between two universities

In different projects, Media Design students from Moholy-Nagy University of Art and Design (MOME) and programming students from Eötvös Loránd University (ELTE) produce a braid supplementing each other to produce a productive workshop for urban games and museum applications. In this paper we introduce projects where AR and mixed reality technologies, in the broadest sense, are used to enhance experience in musea and in a city. By bringing together students of different background and exploiting the artistic, creative approach and the professional ICT knowledge and skills, novel applications come to life, as well as a new way of learning is demonstrated. In order to experience technology and use it as a tool for collaboration a platform for step-wise immersion was developed, introduced and used to invoke innovative ideas.
