This is so cool - congrats to @seanfraga and my other @USCDornsife colleagues.

I am over the moon about this!!! @BooksnakeApp started as my weird pandemic side project two years ago. Now we have an @NEHgov @NEH_ODH #NEHgrant to trial Booksnake with students and build new #AugmentedReality interaction methods. What a world!

[Booksnake @booksnakeapp]

The #NEHgrant will support our work with partners at @librarycongress, @TheHuntington, @CSUSM, @USCDornsife, and @USCLibraries to trial Booksnake in classrooms and bring new collections into AR with Booksnake.

Heading to #WHA2021? Our project director @seanfraga will be there! Track him down for a sneak peek at how you can use @booksnakeapp to view digitized archival materials in augmented reality — as though a digital source is actually on your real-world desk.
