First off I consider The National Museum of Denmark a grand institution and I’m very very proud to work there!
The museum is more than 200 years old and holds collections of millions of objects and images – and huge amounts of data.Significant amounts of resources are spent here as well.
And all our efforts are guide by this statement:Our mission: to embody and develop the prerequisites for everyone to be able to gain insight into cultural heritage.It might seem a little clunky, but that’s my poor translation.
So these volumes are basically multiplied by the new mechanics of communicating and creating together have changed things up rendering broadcast idiom rather weak compaired to these networked kinds of collaboration.Sharing has been accelerated hugely in the past years! And that because broadcast is no longer the best or preferred method for sharing information and knowledge.
Two years ago, London Museum launched an app called London Streetmuseum.It’s pretty basic, you can check it out in the respective app stores, but they kind of visualised is like this.
Old images of places perfectly aligned with new photos of the same places.For a museum professional, this is the stuff of wet dreams...
Imagine getting this delivered on your phone.We use phones for augmented reality these days...
And speaking of phones.We think the iPhone is pretty cool and clever - and the really old phones, they’re just silly right?But hey! Todays augmented reality, running around with your tiny screen in front you you, that’s silly too.Cool augmented reality is building geotagged imagery into contact lensens!!Imagine our kids, walking home from work in 2027 wearing these – being fed with todays massive amounts of image-collections.That’s a timemachine!!
So if we want to build a timemachine, we need these.Geocoordinates. And we need them on our images.And we need them on ALL our images to be able to ”paint the world with history”.
So back to our mission here at The National Museum
And how doing stuff to make really cool augmented reality possible at some point in thime feeds into it...
Our mission: to embody and develop the prerequisites for everyone to be able to gain insight into cultural heritage.This is my own poor translation...
