Using augmented reality and knowledge-building scaffolds to improve learning in a science museum | SpringerLink Allen, S. (2002). Looking for learning in visitor talk: A methodological exploration. In G. 5 reasons to use Augmented Reality in Education - Augment News By integrating augmented reality into your lectures, you’ll capture the attention of your audience. You will have their undivided attention. For instance, a teacher in dentistry integrated Augment into his lessons to show 3D models of teeth and how the human jaw works. Let your audience participate! Prototypes, physical models, and detailed illustrations and posters are all extremely expensive. With Augment, you do not have to invest in physical materials. With a simple a scan, students can access augmented models representing anything from a part of the human anatomy to a famous monument to a molecule. Incorporating Augment into your lessons will make your students excited about learning. Introducing augmented reality to your students, will enable them to discover unknown passions and inspire their future endeavors. Let student imagination runs wild! Download now the free Augment app on your iPhone, iPad or Android. We deliver FREE ACADEMIC LICENSES!

32 Augmented Reality Apps for the Classroom by edshelf: Reviews & recommendations of tools for education Augmented Reality (AR) is a growing field of technology where real life is modified and enhanced by computer-generated sights and sounds. The most common use of AR can be seen through mobile apps. Point your device’s camera at something that the app recognizes, and it will generated a 3D animation or video superimposed over whatever is on your camera’s screen. Want to see how it works? App developers are building AR apps for fun, educational, and commercial uses. Which augmented reality apps do you use? 32 Augmented Reality Apps for the Classroom From edshelf Image attribution flickr user turkletom How to Transform Your Classroom With Augmented Reality Augmented Reality is changing education. What started out as something that was simply “cool” has become a way to engage learners like never before. In fact, while I was first introduced to Augmented Reality through the Aurasma App, I never imagined that while walking through a trendy neighborhood in Washington D.C. this past summer, I would come across the first public interactive augmented reality mural dedicated to the life of the actor Paul Robeson. Designed by artist Corey L. Stowers, this mural allows viewers to scan and thus trigger images of his artwork with their mobile devices, accessing historical videos and original content that depict the life of the great athlete, performer, and civil rights activist. It was at this moment that I realized that Augmented Reality was a way to bring a new dimension to learning. What is “Augmented Reality”? How can I start using AR in my classroom? And why exactly should I start doing this? What are the best AR apps and resources out there?
Augmented reality NASA X38 display showing video map overlays including runways and obstacles during flight test in 2000. Augmented reality (AR) is a live direct or indirect view of a physical, real-world environment whose elements are augmented (or supplemented) by computer-generated sensory input such as sound, video, graphics or GPS data. It is related to a more general concept called mediated reality, in which a view of reality is modified (possibly even diminished rather than augmented) by a computer. As a result, the technology functions by enhancing one’s current perception of reality.[1] By contrast, virtual reality replaces the real world with a simulated one.[2][3] Augmentation is conventionally in real-time and in semantic context with environmental elements, such as sports scores on TV during a match. Technology[edit] Hardware[edit] Hardware components for augmented reality are: processor, display, sensors and input devices. Display[edit] Head-mounted[edit] Eyeglasses[edit] HUD[edit] EyeTap[edit]
20 Ways to Use Augmented Reality in Education Second Life proved an incredibly valuable tool for educators hoping to reach a broad audience — or offering even more ways to learn for their own bands of students. Augmented Reality Development Lab: Affiliated with Google, Microsoft, and Logitech, the Augmented Reality Development Lab run by Digital Tech Frontier seeks to draw up projects that entertain as well as educate. The very core goal of the ARDL involves creating interactive, three-dimensional objects for studying purposes. Reliving the Revolution: Karen Schrier harnessed GPS and Pocket PCs to bring the Battle of Lexington to her students through the Reliving the Revolution game, an AR experiment exploring some of the mysteries still shrouding the event — like who shot first! Players assume different historical roles and walk through everything on a real-life map of the Massachusetts city. FETCH! Driver’s ed: Toyota teamed up with Saatchi & Saatchi to deliver the world’s cleanest and safest test-drive via augmented reality.
Augmented & Virtual Reality Improve Learning Experience | HotChalk Game designers have long understood the impact that deeply immersive environments can have on people. Just ask anyone who has been stalked by vengeful aliens for hours on end, from the safety and comfort of their sofas. The same technology that has captured the attention of video game enthusiasts and the general public may be making its way into the classroom in the relatively near future — presumably minus zombies. Virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR) tech were once only thought to be things of science fiction. While the computer power necessary for these products is not yet universally available — or economically viable, for educational purposes — it cannot hurt to imagine the remarkable ways the evolution of this technology could provide an incredibly immersive, interactive and collaborative classroom experience. Virtual Reality Augmented Reality Augmented reality technology differs slightly from virtual reality.
