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.
KF: As always the Kindergarten is the precursor to quality higher education. This little application is terrific way to introduce wary adult educators and learners to the principles of augmented reality. The simple functions take away the technology concerns while they focus on thinking about the interactions that they can create.
