FAST Computer Vision

A computer vision application to track ArUco markers.

What is FAST?

Flexible, Accessible Strategies for Timely Digital Exhibit Design

Museums play a critical role in engaging their communities around urgent issues that emerge in the public sphere. However, typical exhibit development timelines can stretch for years, and "what's new" can change swiftly before an exhibition is even launched. What if museums could stay agile and dynamic, changing out content as community needs shift, science progresses, and the world changes? What if timely exhibit offerings could be not just efficiently produced, but accessible and welcoming to all visitors? This vision of efficiency and accessibility is at the center of FAST.
