Mapping at the Nexus of the Green and Digital World

August 2, 2022

Augmenting the North Woods is a DWELL Lab project that aims to create an immersive multimedia “classroom in the forest” experience for the North Woods—a 300-acre parcel of unmanaged forests and wetlands just north of URI’s campus. Taking the form of an open access digital resource, the project will combine augmented reality (AR), web development, and digital mapping to lay the groundwork for the larger-scale research and teaching project, the North Woods Stewardship Project.
