Aloha all -
This week's topic was Augmented Reality. "Have you experienced augmented
reality?" That was the first question asked of us in class this week. "Hmmm…. I don't think so, " was my
first response. But after more
discussion, we are exposed to it more often than we realize. A weatherman in front of a green screen? The
first down line on a televised football game?
The names on the swimming lanes at the Olympics?
I've seen that! Wow!
AR is all over the place. Of
course, those are simple examples that have been in use for years, but after
doing a review of the readings and various YouTube videos, the potential is amazing.
When I created my
playlist on YouTube, the examples I found on how it is used in the college
arena were varied. One college used it
in a banner to display different video information about the campus at
orientation. Another used AR to enhance
interactivity in their prospectus and college tour. I also was able to see the uses in teaching
and learning in the medical field. I can
see how it may be useful to use AR to "practice" virtual medical
procedures without endangering any "live" patients.
Here is my YouTube
playlist of AR videos. Whether it was used to animate a college banner, create an interactive
college prospectus, enhance a college tour experience or teach in the medical
field , augmented reality helps to bring
education to life!
I am excited to see how its uses will
continue to develop in the future.
And how was your week?
Mahalo,
