Augmented Reality

The Department of Science and Technology’s Science and Technology Information Institute (DOST-STII) launched recently its STARLib, or the Science and Technology Augmented Reality Library App.

At the same time, the Dr. Geminiano T. de Ocampo collection was turned over to the DOST-STII Library.

Dr. Geminiano T. de Ocampo is a National Scientist, a leader and pioneer in modern Philippine ophthalmology.

STARLib is a mobile app that adds a new creative dimension to the experience of DOST-STII library clients and visitors. The app serves as a personal guide and map for library clients and visitors navigating DOST-STII, which is especially useful for first-time DOST-STII clients.

Augmented reality is a technology that adds computer-generated enhancements into a real environment in real time to make the experience more meaningful by interaction. It blends digital components into the real world to enhance each other.
