What is it?
Using devices with cameras, a person can “scan” a real life, tangible object and see digital information overlaid on top if it.
Augmented Reality Vocabulary Explained• Aura: the magic thing that pops up when you hold your device over
something• Marker or trigger image: the tangible picture you scan
How Is it Used in Education?
Imagine living in the magical world of Harry Potter, where the school hallways are lined with paintings that are alive and interactive. Now imagine creating an atmosphere like that for your students. 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.
