Augmented reality takes hold in classrooms <\/strong><\/a>— from eSchoolNews.com by Laura Devaney

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.<\/p>\n

Proponents of the technology in education say augmented reality differs from virtual reality in that while virtual reality aims to replace a person\u2019s perception of the world with an artificial world, augmented reality enhances a person\u2019s perception of his or her surroundings.<\/p>\n
