Aurasma- This app is amazing. A little tricky to describe but I will give it a go.
Aurasma sort of works like the QR scanner but using the real world as trigger items rather than bar-codes.
Think Minority Report!
Basically you can take photos of things and then assign media, like video, text, audio, or animations to these photos. Someone can come along with their mobile device and view the real world object you have assigned triggers to through the Aurasma viewer and the media will be triggered.
Does that make sense?
For example you could be on an Aurasma tour of Paris and view the Eiffel tower through Aurasma. A video explaining the history of the tower might pop up.
Some schools are using it as a way to enhance tours of their school. Teachers can use it to get students on an interactive walk through of student resources they have around the room. Students can use it to assign video to diaramas or posters they have made and then other students/parents can tour a class full of projects and trigger explanations of the work they are viewing.
The possibilities are endless so just check it out for free!!!
