Augmented reality fascinates me. There is something magical about seeing something virtual float on top of the physical world. Augmented reality may seem futuristic, but it has already quietly slipped into our daily lives. Companies allow us to try out paint colors, cosmetics, and more virtually before we buy. Popular social media apps allow us to take selfies with virtual props.There are some pretty cool augmented reality resources that allow us to harness the power of AR in an instructional setting. Most do require the use of a mobile app and a printed page or set of pages. Check out the examples below.
- QuiverVision: Students color printed handouts and scan with the app to "bring it to life".
- Shakespeare's Globe 360: Students scan the printed marker to tour Shakespeare's Globe Theatre.
- Google Expeditions AR: Students scan printed markers to join a guided field trip.
- Merge Cube: Students scan the cube using one of the many apps available.
