Augmented Reality: The Real Experience

Augmented Reality. What is it? How is it relevant to education and research?

Want to know more?

This 90 minute session is an opportunity to find out more about augmented

reality:

● An overview to the many ways it is starting to be used across society by

companies such as IKEA, the BBC

● Practical educational examples from libraries and subject disciplines.

● Demonstrations including 3D-dinosaurs, interactive video, fieldwork and

medical simulation.

● Get hands-on and create your own augmented reality content!

What is Augmented Reality?

Augmented Reality is the real-time overlaying of digital

content onto reality, viewed through a device such as a

mobile phone, tablet or headset.

What is Augmented Reality?

Passive / Consumption

Reality is augmented but still viewed passively

What is Augmented Reality?

Active / Engaging

Encourages interaction with the augmented content or

enables creation of additional content then and there

Starter Examples...

Examples - Commercial

Marketing:

‘Additional content’ enhanced advertising in

magazines, posters: Vogue Fashion Magazine

Examples - Medical

Examples - Medical

The iPad [was used] to localize the two tumors in the liver. It was very

exciting as it was one of the first operations to be carried out in this

way within Germany.

Developed by Fraunhofer MEVIS in Bremen, this procedure helps

locate critical structures such as tumors and vessels and is expected

to improve the quality of transferring pre-operational resection plans

into actual surgery, according to Bianka Hofmann from the institute.

Why consider augmented reality?

● Enable deeper understanding:○ Learn more about the item through extended

information

○ Include direct links to further resources in context

● Connect knowledge:○ Enable links between different objects and areas by

using orientation hunt

● Provide direct in-context access to resources

that are protected or changed by history

Things to Consider

1. What benefit will it bring to the learning

experience?

2. How will it integrate into other learning

activity?

3. What resources will you use:a. Stock existing 3D-model or image?

b. Create your own / use your own content

4. Do you have a team or support to enable

creation?

5. What platform or device will you target?

How To...

Aurasma

● Can create content all on ipad (create on single

device)
