Advanced Search!


Okay! So for class we've had to have a play around with hot keys ad advanced searches, after our wonderfully enthusiastic library liaison's presentation. I decided to use two search engines "Dog Pile" (a group of search engines really) and the oh, so infamous "Google"(scholar for this one).




I looked into "Augmented Reality" as a phrase, with Sword as an additional word to confuse the process. Other then that I just used what ever refining options were clearly available in the advanced search.


For Dog Pile I came up with a lot of videos in comparison, the most interesting one of which, I have seen before, but illustrates an interesting way of art that involves the sword. Sword Dance and Shadowgraph check it out.

And as should be expected using Google Scholar, I got a lot of PDFs which appear (in my brief skimming) more targeted to Augmented Reality then the Sword, but quite possibly a useful resource there.
