This article describes the development of a prototyped digital genre: situated simulations. A situated simulation is a kind of mobile augmented reality system used to augment specific places with additional information about the environment. In the article we present the basic features of the system and discuss several implementations where past topics-historical buildings, actions and events-have been evaluated by users on location. We also present some of the hardware and software constraints of the application.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
