Experience the big-screen in private. That's the sales pitch for head-mounted displays. One would think that the only real areas for technological advancement would be in the screen resolution and the actual weight of the device.

A camera-equipped ring could help the visually impaired identify objects and read text. Normally, we point at things to specify, or to emphasize, what we're talking about. But a project from several MIT researchers aims to make pointing a way to learn more about the world around you—with a special ring on your index finger and a smartphone in your pocket.

Augmented reality (AR) is a tool educators should consider using as it provides discovery and experiential experiences creating more opportunities for students to make deeper connections and understandings. Additionally the 2010 and 2011 Horizon Reports, predict that the use of augmented reality in education will be widespread within two to three years. Delete the scoop?

AR SPOT is an augmented-reality authoring environment for children. An extension of MIT’s Scratch project, this environment allows children to create experiences that mix real and virtual elements. Children can display virtual objects on a real-world scene observed through a video camera, and they can control the virtual world through interactions between physical objects. Delete the scoop?

Imagine how those boring history lessons at school would be if the children would watch an augmented view of the lesson, like a 3D Solar System Model or Galileu talking directly to them, and they were able to interact with this augmented information. Children learn better the lesson if they see it like a game. Delete the scoop?

People often ask: “What is Augmented Reality?” The more we explain what AR is and what we are developing, the more we realize there is a need to give our AR productions an identity in order to distinguish it from other AR applications (e.g., mobile AR). Also, we often find people enthusiastic about this technology, but feeling intimidated by it because it appears to be “difficult.” We hope this essay will ease the technological anxiety and encourage more people to adopt this technology.
