Submissions
Trace Innovation invites open submissions of critical augmented reality projets. Although we accept projects from a variety of disciplines and perspectives, Trace ARC projects should:
- Have a specific social, cultural, political, and/or educational purpose
- Engage with the rhetorical affordances of AR technology
ARC project inquiries and concept proposals should be directed to Sidney I. Dobrin at sdobrin@ufl.edu.
Concept Proposal
Prior to submitting an ARC project, please email an ARC concept proposal that addresses the following questions (no more than 1,000 words):
- What is your project and how does it use AR technology in making its critique?
- Is your ARC location specific? If so, is there internet access (wi-fi or cellular) at this location? Are there any texts, signs, or buildings at this location (e.g. historical markers, street signs, building facade, etc.)?
- Please describe the multimedia content (video, sound recordings, 3D, etc.) that you would like to incorporate into your ARC.
- Is it important that your ARC be accessible through the Google Play and Apple app store or can it be part of a third party augmented reality app like Aurasma?
Technical Guidelines
Consult the tutorials page for resources and instructional materials to create your own ARC project using Unity or Aurasma. Before an ARC can be finalized and published to the Trace website, ARC creators must submit:
- A written description of the ARC discussing the social, education, and/or cultural issues that it addresses.
- All trigger images as .png files
- A short documentation video showing someone using the application
- Instructions for acessing the ARC
- (Location-based ARCs only) A custom Google map showing POIs along with trigger images and/or overlay media
