What is reality?

The augmented reality (AR) project using Aurasma has really gotten my brain racing as to the possibilities of applications in the educational arena. Just think of all those posters in the classroom or exhibits at museums that are under similar light conditions. A program like Aurasma would be perfect way of augmenting the experience for the student or visitor. For example, here is a video that I took at the Hong Kong Science Museum showing how AR can be used for a variety of experiences using different cards.

Although this example uses a QR code type marker, I can't see any reason why it couldn't use an actual image. Looking forward to learning more about how to incorporate AR into my work.

Class Intros

I really enjoyed watching everyone's class intros. There are definitely some creative folks in our class. Hopefully we get a chance to talk a bit about the various tools that everyone used in order to create the videos. For my introduction of Stacy, I gathered all of my info from being her friend on Facebook and Google Plus. I thought it would be a fun detective story to see if I could piece together a story of her without asking her any questions.

You can even use some augmented reality to view the book as well!

Let me know what you think.
