This position paper presents a process artifact that aims to use situated augmented reality to reveal the hidden aspects of tourism in Hawai'i. The authors first provide historical background on how Hawai'i was transformed into a tourist destination, often at the expense of the indigenous Kānaka Maoli community. They then discuss how related augmented reality work can inform strategies for building experiences that address cultural issues.
The proposed prototype will showcase an augmented reality (AR) storytelling experience that leverages geolocation to design site-specific interactions. Users will be able to engage with various public locations featuring digital AR objects that depict:
Historical Context: Providing information about the history and intentions of settler colonialism in Hawai'i through the display of historical artifacts.
Contemporary Issues: Bringing awareness to recent issues regarding the exclusion of Kānaka Maoli art in the Hawaii Convention Center.
Identity Harm: Displaying examples of the commercialization and caricaturization of native values and practices, such as the 1943 advertisement of a sexualized "Hawaiian" hula girl.
The authors emphasize that the artifacts presented through AR will be curated in collaboration with the Kānaka Maoli and local Hawai'i community, aiming to amplify their voices and concerns to the broader audience.
The paper concludes by proposing topics for discussion, such as how to best present and contextualize archival materials for social justice, how to ensure that situated augmented reality empowers locals, and what are the best practices for facilitating local institutions' augmented reality capabilities.
