Augmented reality takes hold in classrooms – from eSchoolNews.com by Laura Devaney
Educators say enhanced learning experiences can lead to engaging lessons; augmented reality overlays digital images and information on real-world settings.
A small but growing number of schools across the nation are turning classroom lessons into engaging experiences with augmented reality (AR), a technology that overlays digital information on top of real-world surroundings as viewed through a smart phone or other handheld, GPS-enabled device.
Proponents of the technology in education say augmented reality differs from virtual reality in that while virtual reality aims to replace a person’s perception of the world with an artificial world, augmented reality enhances a person’s perception of his or her surroundings.
The Augmented Reality Development Lab (ARDL), from virtual reality developer Digital Tech Frontier, lets users display relevant information at the appropriate time and location during an AR experience, which results in virtual 3-D objects appearing in the real world.

More augmented reality videos – from elearning blog don’t waste your time
“Continuing my thoughts and readings on the use of Augmented Reality in education, here are some examples of how commercial organisations are using it in their marketing. It’s only a short hop from a selling to educating perspective, so let’s start thinking about it and working towards it, yes?”
From DSC:
Man oh man…you talk about engagement! Can you imagine such technologies working with educational-related content on a wall-sized, multi-touch, interactive display?! This is mind-blowing.
