“…Since a primary goal was to encourage collaborative conversation rather than didactic instruction, we sent an email to parents/guardians/caregivers a few days prior to the event describing their roles and responsibilities. In particular, we wanted them to become behavioral catalysts (Benckendorff et al, 2018), encouraging them to employ an inquiry behavior by collaborating with the other family(-ies) in their group to mentor and help the children locate information which allowed them to posit answers and construct hypothesis. Also, we suggested that they could provide children with prompts that will enable them to better understand the concepts and clues provided, but that they should resist shutting down conversation by providing the answers to the various tasks.…”

For some reason, the anxiety of usefulness has been itching the humanities for a long time. When Jacob Grimm in 1846 convened the Germanisten (scholars of the German language, literature, and legal history) to a conference in Frankfurt's Paulskirche, one of the main items on the agenda was to find themes and topics with which these scholars, newly incorporated in dedicated university departments, could demonstrate their usefulness to the public. (In one of the great ironies of history, politics would cater to their craving soon enough: two years later, in the same Paulskirche, many Germanisten would meet again, this time as delegates in the 1848 Frankfurt Parliament, and many of them would claim a role as intellectual counselors to emerging German nationalism.)Anything to avoid looking like a bookworm, or a dilettante erudite. Perhaps the strongest argument for a socially useful humanities was made by Matthew Arnold around the same period. Drawing on the German concept of Bildung, he formulated a pedagogical usefulness in his classic Culture and Anarchy (1869). Writing in a dourly pragmatic, intolerantly moralistic Victorian climate, Arnold stressed society's need for a creative, mental agility to break through the blinkered vision of those he called "Philistines," "people who believe most that our greatness and welfare are proved by our being very rich, and who most give their lives and thoughts to becoming rich" (1869, p. 16). The power of the creative imagination to dispense "sweetness and light," he argued, would allow people to imagine a world beyond their narrow self-interest, to connect more easily with other people and other nations, and to replace the default attitude of mistrust and competition by an open-minded curiosity. That was the power of culture, "the best that is known and thought in the world"; and people were needed to "learn and propagate the best that is known and thought in the world" (Arnold, 1865, p. 283).Readers may sense how uncannily Arnold's mission reflects our modernday needs. The heyday of the humanities culminated (and ended) in the 1970s and 1980s when humanities scholars, fired by new theories, played a vanguard role in ethnic and sexual emancipation movements. That heyday has now passed.

“…Digital heritage modeling for documentation, explanation or valorization purposes has grown with the number of sites and objects studied and recognized. New forms of heritage management evolved from the trend towards heritage tourism [18], and similarly, new practices arise from the digital incursion in heritage management [6], [7].…”

“…Cutler et al present their experiments and learning in authoring interactive VR narratives across different scenarios [15]. Compared to VR, which blocks users from the physical world, AR can enrich story elements by augmenting a physical photo with digital content beside it, which allows storytellers and listeners to access both the physical and digital worlds simultaneously [5,11,27,40,59,65,66,84,87]. Thus, AR technology has the potential to foster collaboration, shared experience, and co-creation in storytelling, which motivated our choice of AR to facilitate the photo-based intergenerational storytelling process.…”

Storytelling with family photos, as an important mode of reminiscence-based activities, can be instrumental in promoting intergenerational communication between grandparents and grandchildren by strengthening generation bonds and shared family values. Motivated by challenges that existing technology approaches encountered for improving intergenerational storytelling (e.g., the need to hold the tablet, the potential view detachment from the physical world in Virtual Reality (VR)), we sought to find new ways of using Augmented Reality (AR) to support intergenerational storytelling, which offers new capabilities (e.g., 3D models, new interactivity) to enhance the expression for the storyteller. We conducted a two-part exploratory study, where pairs of grandparents and grandchildren 1) participated in an in-person storytelling activity with a semi-structured interview 2) and then a participatory design session with AR technology probes that we designed to inspire their exploration. Our findings revealed insights into the possible ways of intergenerational storytelling, the feasibility and usages of AR in facilitating it, and the key design implications for leveraging AR in intergenerational storytelling.
