How to Use Augmented Reality To Transform Your Classroom | Tech Learning

How to Use Augmented Reality To Transform Your Classroom | Tech Learning | Augmented, Alternate and Virtual Realities in Education | Scoop.it
Augmented Reality is an example of a technology that can make classroom learning more transformational and engaging. What in the past had seemed like fantasy is now a part of our reality. There are practical examples for Augmented Reality being used in classrooms around the world, as the ability to overlay digital content and information onto the real world--using triggers like images and locations--opens up a whole new world of learning opportunities.

Do you want to allow students to interact with 3D models? Bring learning to life? Break down the walls of the classroom? Experiment with an AR app--and see the magic happen.
 
What other ideas do you have about incorporating Augmented Reality in your classroom?

Augmented Reality: WiSee: Wi-Fi signals enable gesture recognition throughout entire home | Beyond The Beyond | Wired.com | Augmented, Alternate and Virtual Realities in Education | Scoop.it

University of Washington computer scientists have developed gesture-recognition technology that brings this a step closer to reality. Researchers have shown it’s possible to leverage Wi-Fi signals around us to detect specific movements without needing sensors on the human body or cameras.

The Multiple Uses of Augmented Reality in Education. | Augmented, Alternate and Virtual Realities in Education | Scoop.it
There are many other ways in which AR can be utilized in schools, universities, and in e-learning. AR could work with other technologies like VR to create something known as mixed reality. The real world is only a starting point from which exploration begins. The sky is the limit, both when it comes to topics that can be explored in AR settings and the demonstrations or knowledge presentations that can be crafted through the use of the technology.

Donald Clark Plan B: Amazing, mind-blowing ‘people’ possibilities in VR and AR | Augmented, Alternate and Virtual Realities in Education | Scoop.it
When I demo VR to people they often struggle to see its potential application in the real world. One dimension they often miss is its potential to let you interact with other people - it’s social dimension. Far from being socially isolating, it may be socially liberating. The possibilities are mind-blowing.

Will Wright at Augmented Reality Conference: Don’t Augment Reality, Decimate It

Will Wright at Augmented Reality Conference: Don’t Augment Reality, Decimate It | Augmented, Alternate and Virtual Realities in Education | Scoop.it
Silicon Valley could learn a thing or two from the Amish.

 

He speculated that most of what humans call “intelligence” is really just the brain’s ability to filter irrelevance out of the constant barrage of information it receives every second.

 

“Rather than trying to augment reality, maybe the future is decimated reality,” he said.

 

By “decimated reality,” Wright means technology that can do even more filtering than the brain already does automatically, and thereby show less information, not more. So, car commuters might have a filter between themselves and the road that blocks out all road signs except the ones that matter to them.
