APSAPHave you thought about viewing your #digital #3D #archaeology models in-situ in a trench at your site? Read our article on the use of #MixedReality and #AugmentedReality (#MR/#AR) in archaeological #fieldwork in the Journal of Computer Applications in Archaeology (#JCAA)! Our experiments utilized three devices: the Vuzix Blade 2 AR smart glasses, the Microsoft #HoloLens2, and the Meta #QuestPro MR headsets. These experiments aimed to enhance fieldwork efficiency and accuracy through hands-free data collection, stratigraphic comparisons using 3D models, depth-guidance systems for excavation, and virtual pottery reconstruction. Our findings highlight the significant potential of MR/AR technologies to transform archaeological practices. Our vision for the future demonstrates that these tools will, one day, provide archaeologists with enhanced vision and data interaction capabilities, ultimately advancing the field.

Experiments with Mixed and Augmented Reality (MR/AR) for Archaeological Data Collection and Use During Fieldwork: Vision for the Future | Journal of Computer Applications in Archaeology
The Journal of Computer Applications in Archaeology (JCAA) is a peer-reviewed, open access, electronic journal, featuring papers in all the disciplines related to digital archaeology, including but not limited to 3D modelling, spatial analysis, remote sensing, geophysics, field recording techniques, databases, semantic web, statistics, data mining, simulation modelling, network analysis and digital reconstructions of the past. The journal welcomes papers reporting original research, as well as papers that critically reflect on the use and impact of digital technologies in archaeology.
