Natural History Museum partners with USC for augmented reality experiences at La Brea Tar Pits
Emily Lindsey, assistant curator and excavation site director for the La Brea Tar Pits, and Benjamin Nye, the director of learning science at the USC Institute for Creative Technologies, are the principal investigators. Gale Sinatra, the Stephen H. Crocker Professor of Education Psychology at the USC Rossier School of Education, and William Swartout, chief technology officer for USC ICT, are co-PIs.
A key aspect of the project is to use AR to provide additional information about what visitors see to help dispel misconceptions.
