Make the curriculum come alive!
Augmented reality (AR) is when information about the environment and its objects is overlaid on the real world. The real-world environment is supplemented by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. We see it around us all the time, such as sports scores on TV during a match. With the help of a AR technology the information about the surrounding real world of the user becomes interactive and digitally manipulable.
Objectives of the course:
· To introduce a range of AR applications;
· To create their own AR resource using text, images, video and sound;
· To share their resources with others.
