An overview of the concept of augmented reality with examples of educational use.

1. Augmented Reality
JISC RSC Scotland

2. "Every day, you walk down the street. You walk past
the buildings, see the crowds and yawn.
But on this day, you decide to use your smartphone
and look down at the screen. At that moment, you
see animation, tweets from people in the area, and
you can respond.
Interactivity meets reality. Social meets real time
visibility.
Engage, enlightenment and excitement in an
instance.”
Craig Weiss
