On today's episode, Chris and Chris (Webby and Boone) talk to Bernard Means, the Director of the Virtual Curation Laboratory at Virginia Commonwealth University. Bernard tells us how to get scanning and printing on our field projects and we talk about how good the prints are versus just collecting the artifact or taking good photos.

Steve Fowler, of the mobile and wearable technology development firm, Interapt, chats with Chris and Chris about augmented and virtual reality technologies, and what they mean for the future of archaeology. Steve breaks down the difference between augmented and virtual reality, and lays out the status of front-running products in these technologies. We talk about the current state of technology in the sciences, and where we see these products steering the ways in which fieldwork is conducted and presented.
How can visualization technology improve fieldwork?
How can these technologies improve outreach and engagement?
How can technology add value to archaeology, and increase return on investment for stakeholders (taxpayers and clients)?
