Aurasma is an augmented reality platform. Available as a free app for iPhones, iPads and high-powered Android devices. Aurasma uses advanced image and pattern recognition to blend the real-world with rich interactive content such as videos and animations called “Auras”.
How Does it work?
Our Project:
1. You will need to down load the Aurasma Application from the Apple or Andriod App Store on to your Smart Device or one that belongs to school,
2. Once you have created your free account you may follow different users to find and access their "auras" or augmented realty links. Our project can be found by clicking the magnifitying glass and typing METEC510project.
3. Once have followed our group you have access to the Auras we have created. These would theoretically be placed around a classroom for students to access are identified by this image in bottom corner:
Out Auras that can be downloaded and printed, ensure to print in colour.
Make your own Aura:
The best part of this project, is the ability for students to make and use their own Auras that they feel will help themselves and other students navigate the ELL experience. Once they create an Aura they can share it with a hastag (#etec510) and others can see it. Or, conversly, the teacher can add the aura to his/her own channel. Below you will find a short segment on how to create Auras.
