3. At SHU
O
Production II Course - Produce Three AUGMENTED REALITY PRODUCTS “Auras”
O
Required Elements:
O
Each Aura must have a brief “concept statement” and a detailed flowchart
Aura Specifics
O
One Aura used as a component of Multimedia Rich Lessons
O
One Aura must be a Virtual Tour of Campus.
O
Data and images cane be created in PowerPoint and saved as PNG/JPG
O
Movies made with Animoto or Windows Movie Maker can be uploaded
to Aurasma as Overlays.
O
One Aura must be created profiling a historical figure or event.
O
A web link to additional information (website, video, or Prezi)
O
At least one original graphic detailing additional information…this should be
created in PowerPoint and saved as a PNG Image.

5. What is Augmented Reality
enhance
the information we can perceive with our senses.
•
Augmented reality aims to do just that as a means to
•
can be used for visual
and highly interactive
forms of learning, allowing the overlay of data onto the real
world.
•
Augmented reality is an active, not a passive technology; students
can use it to construct new understanding based on
bring
interactions with virtual objects that
underlying data to life as it responds to user
input.
•
Students find connections between their lives and their
education through the addition of a contextual layer. “Auras”

6. What is Augmented Reality
O knowledge transfer…inversion of the
original educational hierarchy.
O augmented reality
environment
O includes elements of the real world
O the virtual world at the same time,
O and be interactive in real time.
virtual objects… either manipulated or
stationary.

7. Augmented reality uses technology to blend
the real world with interactive and enhanced
content. When a student uses an augmented
reality application while looking through a
mobile device such as a tablet, the student will
experience an overlay of interactive
elements that enhance the “normal” scene. For
instance, using an augmented reality app
while hovering a tablet in front of a historical
landmark could call up videos of important
historical reenactments, important facts, or
more.

8. Aurasma
O Aurasma is the world’s leading
augmented reality platform.
O Auras can be as simple as a video and a
link to a web page or as complex as a
lifelike 3D animation.
O Offers both a free and upgraded versions.
