Those of you who came along to the Solihull: Back to the Future event at the Core Theatre on 17th September 2021, will have seen our Augmented Reality (AR) pilot, which saw us project an augmented reality version of Solihull Manor House in 1948 onto an apparently empty table.
The AR pilot used free Adobe Aero software to project the AR content onto a surface. This short video taken at the Core Library demonstrates what it looked like.
Anyone who was in the Core at the time this video was taken would just have seen someone pointing a phone at the apparently empty table for 30 seconds!
Unfortunately, Adobe withdrew support for Adobe Aero in 2025, so the content no longer exists. We do at least have the video recording as a record of our pilot project.
