Augmented Reality (AR) is a fun way to bring a standard room or object to life. The software uses a smartphone’s or tablet’s camera to record an object and projects a 3D image onto it. There are many educational apps that use Augmented reality, here are a few examples of these apps.

All of these app’s bring their particular subject into a new, fun and modern way of teaching. They are all easily accessible as pupils only have to download the app onto their phones to get this experience. The limited ability of these types of app’s is the lack of information on their subjects. They all cover the very basics of each subject and let pupils to look into what a liver or Dinosaur would look like. Apart from this these App’s don’t offer much more. Taking from this I will still use Augmented reality as part of the package of my project. I will combine the best parts of Virtual reality, Augmented Reality and APP based learning into my package. They way the Augmented reality will work is a pupil will be able to watch a certain battle or get a mini tour around famous historical landmarks. The virtual reality element will allow people to live these events in a virtual space and react with them. Finally the App will bring all this content together and allow the pupils to explore past events and places in more detail. There will also be mini courses included in the App, similar to the ones shown by Khan Academy.
