This historical landmark, which shaped the social and cultural life of early Ottawa, is undergoing a dramatic redevelopment. Lab researchers are planning to create a mobile app that enables visitors to explore the park\u2019s rich history and re-imagine its future as a public space.<\/p>\n<p>It\u2019s just the latest in a long line of interactive projects that give students hands-on experience.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cHyperlab students have already developed locative games for education, critical tourism and heritage conservation that use real city spaces as a platform,\u201d said Brian Greenspan, the Hyperlab\u2019s founding director. \u201cA stroll through Confederation Park becomes a quest for historical&nbsp;artifacts from early Bytown, the Arboretum is transformed into a literary haunted house, and 杏吧原创\u2019s campus becomes a dystopian zone populated by student zombies. Players navigate the city and game space simultaneously, searching for the right path while avoiding both real and virtual obstacles.\u201d<\/p>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"column\">\n<blockquote><p>Hyperlab students have already developed locative games for education, critical tourism and heritage conservation that use real city spaces as a platform<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p><\/p><\/div><\/div><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image size-medium wp-image-515\"><figure class=\"alignleft\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"400\" height=\"258\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/research-labs-2-400x258.jpg\" alt=\"Students and Faculty in the Hyperlab\" class=\"wp-image-515\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/research-labs-2-400x258.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/research-labs-2-200x129.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/research-labs-2-768x495.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/research-labs-2.jpg 930w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><figcaption>Phil Horwitz, MA\/11 (with microphone), doctoral candidate Adam Benn, and hyperlab director Brian Greenspan, seated, inside the Hypertext and Hypermedia Lab at 杏吧原创.

The Hyperlab\u2019s task was to create a locative live museum app, where users could experience some of the digitized artifacts from the online exhibit&nbsp;at the canal site itself using a mobile device.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In connection to this project, students at the lab created a game called the Forgotten Worker Quest designed for 8-to 12-year-olds. Young players visiting the canal can access the game on a mobile device to play the role of an 1820s immigrant worker. Participants locate tools and complete tasks while avoiding explosions and malaria outbreaks. Based on actual Bytown history, it is a scavenger hunt, history lesson and interactive tour of the canal site all in one.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<div class=\"column\">\n<p>In operation since 2008, the Hyperlab is a digital humanities research centre in which students use new digital tools to explore traditional humanities objects and subjects, or bring critical humanities approaches to projects involving new digital media and culture.<\/p>\n<figure><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"alignleft size-medium wp-image-519\" src=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/Hyperlab-technology-400x231.jpg\" alt=\"Man with special goggles and hand equipment\" width=\"400\" height=\"231\" srcset=\"https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/Hyperlab-technology-400x231.jpg 400w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/Hyperlab-technology-200x115.jpg 200w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/Hyperlab-technology-768x443.jpg 768w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/Hyperlab-technology-1024x591.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/carleton.ca\/fass\/wp-content\/uploads\/sites\/46\/Hyperlab-technology.jpg 1277w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 400px) 100vw, 400px\" \/><\/figure><p>\u201cThe lab supports students from a variety of disciplines, including music, sociology, game studies, theatre and film, who have projects involving a digital element but&nbsp;who seem to have fallen between the cracks.

The lab\u2019s team has developed tools for the rapid prototyping and development of mobile apps that use GPS and location-based services to deliver site-specific information to users. Their spatial storytelling apps let users experience rich multimedia narratives that follow them along and shift perspective as they navigate the real world.
