Yet, disciplines handling physical objects still experience several limitations when connecting analog research practices to digital resources. Utilizing recent developments in mixed reality technology, we propose a digital research environment that overcomes these limitations. We present a soft- and hardware prototype that blends analog annotation practices with its digital counterpart. Our approach advances the state of the art by enabling real-time handling of digital representations by manipulating actual physical objects. We discuss our future work concepts of blending objects and augmenting information using mixed reality technologies, and connecting object-centered research practices to online data sources.enannotationmixed realityPhysical and Digital Research PracticeText/Conference Paper10.18420/muc2017-ws08-0347
