SDS 3Minute Thesis - Another Skill Development Opportunity in My PhD Research Journey My Research User-Centred Mobile Augmented Reality: Meeting Academic Library Service Needs The development process for Mobile Augmented Reality (MAR) applications in libraries has predominantly focused on the instrumentalisation of technology, overlooking user-centred considerations. Consequently, despite the promising potential of MARtechnology to make traditional library services more efficient and effective, the implementation often lacks a user-centred approach. As a result, the applications developed are likely to fall short of meeting user requirements. The study explores user expectations, challenges and needs regarding MAR technology in academic libraries to address this concern. The goal is to gain insights from users and potential users to improve and develop MAR applications that prioritise user needs. https://lnkd.in/ecMCf6uj Skills Development Scotland #RGU #3MT

I attended the National Science Day Celebration Event conducted by the Institute of Infrastructure Technology Research and Management (IITRAM) today. The theme of the event was "Indian Contribution to Modern Science". We had a thought-provoking discussion about India's stand in the world regarding R&D, International collaborations, and the need for better educational institutions. I thank the speaker Brajesh Tiwari and others who had found time from their busy schedule to take part in the event. What is evident from the discussion are as follows -> 1) India needs to increase spending on R&D 2) We need to improve our international collaborations and relations 3) Quality education should be promoted and providing namesake educational degrees in large quantity is hampering our progress. #nationalscienceday #iitram
