Presentation on linking the physical to digital with QR codes, augmented reality and NFC from the event Emerging Technology for Learning. Outlines simple ways to link physical objects to digital resources and considers the importance of the user experience when doing so in education. The talk was followed by a set of practical activities investigating the use of these technologies and a discussion around designing effective educational experiences with them.
Mobile augmented reality is a rapidly emerging technology that allows a camera view of the real world to be augmented by overlaying it with information from the virtual. There are lots of apps that let you consume AR, but creating AR can still be pretty technical. The new Aurasma app lets you create some simple AR-type stuff by linking media to images using only your phone.
Or An English phone in New York… I tend not to take much technology on holiday as it can feel like I’m still working. However, I was really impressed by how useful my phone proved, especially when our return flight was cancelled and I needed to sort out an alternative way home. This post reflects on why it will be the first thing I pack for my next holiday.
