I attended an interesting session on augmented reality at the Sloan-C, MERLOT, Moodle meeting last week. The concept has fascinating implications for the teaching/learning process. Imagine holding a piece of paper with a block like stamp (similar in function to a bar code) on it in front of a computer camera and watching images come to life, allowing you to interact with the images. If you watch television, you probably have viewed some commercial ads with augmented reality. Augmented reality is defined as a blend of real life with digital images.
You can view an example at http://livingsasquatch.com/ . The web site allows you to print the augmented reality stamp and then to add communication. I will experiment with the web site this week.
In search of other resources, I stumbled across iPhone apps that use augmented reality at http://mashable.com/2009/12/05/augmented-reality-iphone/ .
