Augmented Reality 101: Creating Interactive Learning
Experiences
Augmented reality (AR) technology uses the capabilities of a smartphone
or tablet to augment or supplement the real-world environment. This
workshop will primarily focus on image-based AR technology, which
utilizes an image as a “marker” to display computer-generated information
on top of it. The information is interactive and can include buttons, videos,
graphics, websites, and more. In the classroom, an AR “marker” can be any
sort of printed classroom material or image. For example, a math
worksheet enhanced with AR technology can reveal links to helpful
resources or show a video of how the problems can be solved.
This workshop will explain in more detail about AR technology and how to
easily create your own interactive AR experiences. Upon successful
