This is what makes augmented reality different from virtual reality. In virtual reality, you wear goggles (for now) that completely immerse you in an entirely new reality. The tech giants are engaged in a venture-fueled war to see whose AR will stick. Can AR be an Engine for Social Good? Don’t miss out on bbcon 2017.

From large in-person events to a more casual virtual gathering, a fundraising silent auction can bring in much-needed revenue and provide supporters with a fun-filled night. Silent auctions can be hosted in-person or virtually, meaning participants can bid for prized items from the comfort of their homes.

On June 4, we opened The Tech Virtual Test Zone , a new 2000 sq ft gallery at The Tech Museum of Innovation featuring exhibits on the theme of art, film, and music that were originally developed in Second Life by a community of creative amateurs. On many levels, The Tech Virtual experiment was a success.

I've added a fourth model to this citizen science typology, one may be more appropriate to facilities like museums than to scientific organizations: co-option. In this model, the public uses institutional facilities or resources to develop and manage projects of their own devising. Contribution, collaboration, co-creation, and co-option.

Which of these descriptions exemplifies participatory museum practice? Museum invites community members to participate in the development and creation of an exhibit. Museum staff create an exhibit by a traditional internal design process, but the exhibit, once open, invites visitors to contribute their own stories and participation.

The most immediate place to start sharing is with the people with whom you came to the museum. Give people tools to interact socially while in the museum. Great point.

With technology improving, virtual and hybrid events rising in popularity, and new event ideas coming to fruition, it can be hard to determine the best fundraising event that aligns with your audience, goals, and overall mission. Even as events become in-person again, incorporating virtual elements to make them hybrid will likely be the norm.

Every museum has a number for its operating cost per visitor. Most museums don't strategically set this number--too many operating costs are fixed by building needs--but they can use it to assess how expensive each visitor interaction is and evaluate the efficacy of programs. So where do online initiatives fit in?
