Anythink Libraries
Anything serves the residents of Adams County, Colo., with seven branches in Bennett, Brighton, Commerce City, Thornton, and the Perl Mack neighborhood of Denver. The library also offers outreach services through Anythink in Motion, the district’s bookmobile which visits neighborhoods and communities throughout the county. With a focus on innovation, Anythink’s award-winning approach to library service is recognized by industry leaders and organizations across the globe.
Huron
The project relies heavily on community input and participation. Members of the community will be asked to create a symbol that represents themselves and then will be asked to write a sentence describing how the symbol represents them. The symbols will be installed as a collage on one of the walls in the library, creating a mosaic of icons. When the collage is scanned a singular AR object will appear that represents the community as a whole. Each symbol can be scanned and will have its own AR element.
Bennett
The project consists of two components, an interactive topographic map of Bennett and an exploratory game that imitates its landscape that will include landmarks of the town and stories from community members. The interactive topographic map will be made of recycled fabric, conductive material, and an interface. The community will help construct the interactive map and contribute to the game design.
