2. WHAT IS ARSTUDIO?
ARstudio is an Australian Government funded
innovation and development project to identify
effective uses of augmented reality in an
educational context, together with tools for
mapping its uptake and evaluating its
effectiveness. This includes producing a
collection of practice models, illustrating
interactive, pedagogically-driven uses of
augmented reality in common learning spaces.
• ARstudio - practice, skills, accessibility
• ARchive - case studies, models, guidelines,
evaluation & frameworks
• ARcamp - community, sharing, ideation
3. “A collaborative environment to
focus expertise, develop practice,
provide resources and build capacity
for effective implementation of AR
technologies in education”
4. AR DEFINITIONS
“real-time views of a physical, real-world environment whose
elements have been augmented, enhanced or enriched by
computer-generated sensory input, such as sound or graphics.”
(Azuma, R. 1997)
“Augmented reality (AR) is a live, direct or indirect, view of a
physical, real-world environment whose elements are
augmented by computer-generated sensory input such as
sound, video, graphics or GPS data.”
(Wikipedia, 2012)

15. OPPORTUNITIES
'AR offers opportunities to expand our concept of learning
spaces, to create new dimensions in mobile learning and to
increase connectedness of learners in multiple contexts'
‘learning can occur at a deeper level when pedagogy and
content knowledge exist in context.'

23. WHAT LIES AHEAD?
The device in your pocket already knows where you are and has the potential to
hear you, see you and communicate with anyone in the world.
Steve Wozniak
‘as yet we lack a lexicon and conventions for AR user interfaces’
(Styles.C 2012)
Steve Mann, a professor at the University of Toronto and a pioneer in wearable
computing, alleges that he was attacked at a Paris McDonald's for wearing his
EyeTap Digital Eye Glass, a product evocative of Google's Project Glass. And
because his augmented reality spectacles record images, Mann even has pictures
of the alleged incident.
