Description:
Augmented reality describes the overlay of digital imagery onto real space. Utilizing digital cameras or small specialized goggles, people can not only see these images, but can interact with them in real time. The implications for education are nothing short of revolutionary. This presentation will describe and demonstrate some of the uses of augmented reality technologies in the classrooms to create more immersive learning and teaching experiences.
