7 ways augmented reality will improve your life

7 ways augmented reality will improve your life | Augmented, Alternate and Virtual Realities in Education | Scoop.it

Confused about what augmented reality is? In short, it’s a way to use technology to redefine space, and it places a virtual layer over the world with geographic specificity ensuring a good fit. Check out the video below — in real life, the woman is holding what appears to be a simple box of LEGOs. But when seen through an AR viewer, the box comes to life, serving as a platform for a beautiful carousel. It’s not that you’re imagining things — AR uses computer animation to bring objects to life.

How to Use Augmented Reality To Transform Your Classroom | Tech Learning

How to Use Augmented Reality To Transform Your Classroom | Tech Learning | Augmented, Alternate and Virtual Realities in Education | Scoop.it
Augmented Reality is an example of a technology that can make classroom learning more transformational and engaging. What in the past had seemed like fantasy is now a part of our reality. There are practical examples for Augmented Reality being used in classrooms around the world, as the ability to overlay digital content and information onto the real world--using triggers like images and locations--opens up a whole new world of learning opportunities.

Do you want to allow students to interact with 3D models? Bring learning to life? Break down the walls of the classroom? Experiment with an AR app--and see the magic happen.
 
What other ideas do you have about incorporating Augmented Reality in your classroom?
