04-2012 : Realidad aumentada: asómbrese Think of a line. On the extreme left, the real environment; on the extreme right, the virtual environment. You know what those are: absolutely real and absolutely virtual environments – the real world and the virtual one. And in between? A fusion of real and virtual Augmented reality is a view of a real, physical environment that has been altered or augmented by technology, including dynamic sound, superimposed graphics or GPS data. Exploring the potential You don’t need a lot of equipment to experience AR: handheld tablets and smartphones are perfect platforms. Head-mounted displays have been around for over 30 years. Another option is spatial augmented reality, which uses digital projectors to display graphical information onto physical objects. So how is augmented reality being used, and how will it affect our lives? Providing the “wow” factor Information: AR can already convey a wealth of information about specific places or objects. What’s next?
Manage and track campaigns using Short URLs, QR Codes®, NFC Tags and Beacons. - Delivr® Course Assignment – Major Project at Text spaces in Augmented Reality (AR) Oren Lupo ETEC 540b Dec 1, 2010 Augmented Reality (AR) is a field of computing and visual simulation that blends real-world environments with virtual, computer-generated elements such as text data, visual reference points, animations and 3D graphics. Whereas virtual reality replaces the real world with a purely virtual one (e.g. Second Life), AR brings the two together, creating an immersive experience that is perceived by our brains as an enhanced or supplemented view of the world. The virtual elements in AR technologies are connected or mapped onto real locations in three-dimensional space. A typical AR system set up would include a webcam, computer or mobile device such as a smartphone, and software that detects the position of one or more visual markers in the webcam’s view of the environment.

ExamTime - Changing the way you learn QUIMICA BASICA TodaysMeet - Give everyone a voice iPad y aprendizaje con realidad aumentada iPad y aprendizaje con realidad aumentada En un post anterior (diciembre de 2011) dedicado a analizar las aportaciones del Informe Horizon 2011,comentamos que la Realidad Aumentada (RA) sería una de las tecnologías que en un par de años se implementarían. A lo largo de estos meses, hemos tratado la realidad aumentada en diversos ocasiones, destacando: el post dedicado al proyecto T (ether) del Tangible Media Group del MIT Media Lab y el post a la ya popular aplicación gratuita para iOS, Layar. En el 2010 participé en un estudió títulado Innvation in higher education with Sloodle. La Realidad aumentada en educación se asocia generalmente al uso de los código QR, pero ese es uno de las potencialidades de la tecnología. Poco a poco van llegando propuestas innovadoras. Finalmente, os presentamos FETCH!
Using Gapminder in Presentations Gapminder is a wonderful tool to animate statistical data. Recently, I have used a Gapminder graph for the first time in a presentation and here’s an explanation on how to do it. Should you not know about Gapminder, I would suggest to first take a look at one of the wonderful videos commented by inventor Hans Rosling. The Gapminder World tool comes with a huge amount of development data in order to show country comparisons over time. How to implement a Gapminder graph with your own data in your presentation You can also use Gapminder for your own (time series) data that don’t necessarily have to be development data for country comparisons. The data in Google docs have to be in a specific format that is shown in this Excel spreadsheet. Once you have inserted the Motion Chart and adjusted it to your needs, I would make it as big as possible so that you can capture it in best quality. As a capturing tool I used the 30 day free (and fully functional) trial of Camtasia Studio.
