AR Technology in class like Harry Potter newspapers!

Have you ever seen Harry Potter and the photos on the newspaper look like it is moving? That is called Augmented Reality, which is putting layers of video and animation to pictures around us. Sounds like something from the future but in fact students in 5I with teacher Miss Isaac have made it happen!

Last term the students of 5I studied the Rainforest and together decided to use their Technology time to build an AR on the Rainforest. They invited Ms Goldfinch and surprised her with a wall that when scanned with an iPad, came alive with their videos explaining about what they had learned. Using the free app Aurasma they are bringing to life their learning! Ms Goldfinch was so impressed. 5I will be creating one for the office so you can check it out. We will post when it is ready to be viewed.

Here is a link to find out exactly what Augmented Reality is and what things are already out there!
