ARTrees team members present at the Community Engagement Conference: Partnering for a Resilient and Sustainable Future.
We presented “Classroom as Incubator: a model for interdisciplinary app development” and we showed the process of developing the ARTrees app.
The public is invited to participate in an event to test out an early prototype version of an application designed to encourage playful interactions with trees on campus with the aim of increasing awareness of these important members of our community.
This Beta Testing event takes place on Friday, Nov. 30th. At 1:00pm will meet at the alcove entrance of the 18th Avenue Library to test out the application among the trees in that area in front of the library. We will have iPads there for you to try it out. At 1:30pm we will convene in room 340 of the 18th Ave Library (the Research Commons) where we will have snacks, discuss the project, and learn about your user experience.
ARTrees is being developed by an interdisciplinary group of OSU students, faculty and staff, supported the STEAM Factory at the Ohio State University with equipment support from the College of Arts & Sciences Technology services.
