My husband shared a great little find today that is a great example of Augmented Reality. The Spacecraft 3D App is an intriguing example of how differently we can view- and explore- the world around us. Or out in space.
This is the description from the App page:
NASA’s Spacecraft 3D is an augmented reality (AR) application that lets you learn about and interact with a variety of spacecraft that are used to explore our solar system, study Earth, and observe the universe. Using a printed AR Target and the camera on your mobile device, you can get up close with these robotic explorers, see how they move, and learn about the the engineering feats used to expand our knowledge and understanding of space. Spacecraft 3D will be updated over time to include more of the amazing spacecraft that act as our robotic eyes on the earth, the solar system and beyond!
How can will tools like this revolutionize our teaching? Can kids take a digital tour of an ancient location? Can they explore the insides of the human body? Talk about making learning come to life!
Dream big. Where do you see this type of technology being used most in education?
