Augmented & Virtual Reality in the Classroom
Blue Ridge
Libby Jarom & Sharon Cole
Through our eyes we are able to view the real and physical world around us, but through the world of Augmented Reality we are able to bring what we view on paper to life. Augmented reality allows us to swim with dolphins, look at catalogs, and view a world in 4-D fashion. Participants will leave this session with new knowledge of apps, hands-on activities and ideas for using Augmented Reality in the classroom. This session requires the use of a tablet. Please download the Aurasma app. It is available on both iOS and android. Other apps that will be demonstrated are Elements 4d, AR Flashcards Animals, and Guiness World Records 2015 See It 3D.
