Augmented reality and mobile learning — from interactyx.com by Jeff Roth
Let me pose this scenario:
Every day, you walk down the same street. You walk past the buildings, see the crowds and yawn. But on this day, you decide to use your smartphone and look down on the screen.

Engagement, enlightenment and excitement in an instance.
You wonder to yourself, can this work in the e-learning world? Specifically, m-learning? Can an app for the smartphone superimpose learning in a location or locations? Would it be possible to create a 3D environment in a real environment with people interacting? If yes, what would it be called?
