Augmented Reality 3D Technology in the Classroom
A "Harry Potter" Classroom
Imagine creating a classroom to live in a "Harry Potter" world! Student classwork is lined up down the halls and with a click of your mobile camera, the work comes alive. Augmented Reality (AR) allows educators and students to do just that: unlock or create layers of digital information on top of the physical world that can be viewed through an Android or iOS device.
Aurasma
Aurasma: Allows users to engage in and create Augmented Reality experiences of their own.
Colar Mix
Color Mix: Students can fill in the app's coloring sheets, watch the pages come to life, and then compose stories based on the images they have just designed.
Elements 4D
Elements 4D: Students manipulate and combine elements -- like mercury -- right from their Android or iOS devices, rather than just reading about them in a textbook.This is one of my favorite!
