Though augmented reality (AR) as a technology has existed for roughly two decades, it has only just begun to break into the mainstream by way of immersive desktop and mobile experiences.

AR Textbooks, Virtual Chemistry Sets & the Future of Learning

Much of what has been seen so far has been either in the entertainment, marketing and location-based sectors, but one area that is sure to benefit from AR is education. One of the most obvious ways AR will impact education is by enhancing learning materials for students, and a new demo from a Bangkok-based organization shows just that. Perhaps providing a glimpse into the near future of learning, the video (embedded below) from Thailand's Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology (IPST) shows how augmented reality could help students open a whole new dimension from their textbooks. In this example, a student flips through a geology book meant to teach her about the layers of the earth. The experience is pretty compelling as it is. Photo by Flickr user Neys.

The latest map in our series tackles one of the true world capitals of science: San Francisco and the surrounding area.

Mapping Science In The City: San Francisco - Of Schemes and Memes Blog

With centres such as Stanford, NASA Ames, Berkeley and UCSF few areas on the planet have such a rich concentration of top research facilities. As Jo Scott shows in her map, SF is also home to numerous museums and public spaces for science, as well as the inevitable Nature office. View Science in San Francisco in a larger map Jo has featured around 30 locations, with museums in red, institutions in green, universities in pale blue, publishers in purple, science cafes in blue and miscellaneous sites in yellow. She’s left off biotech companies and many private research institutes as there are simply too many. We’re keen to build up a series of maps showing the scientific highlights of cities around the world. Previous maps.
