Aurasma - Customizable Augmented Reality


Aurasma is a free app that allows users to tag real-world objects or images with a video clip that plays when the object is viewed through the device. Since anything can be tagged, there are many ways to potentially use this in the classroom. Students could digitally augment their work, or teachers could add video to an image on a textbook or worksheet.

"See and interact with the world in a new way.

Thanks to Aurasma, every image, object and even place can have its own "Aura", which is our term for an augmented reality experience!  Through these Auras, magazines come to life with videos, adverts offer special deals through web click-throughs and quizzes, catalogues launch 3D product models, and much more.  Teachers also create Auras to add engaging digital information to printed materials in their classrooms. Simply use the free Aurasma mobile app to unlock Auras and share the experience with friends. Or get experimenting and use the simple tools within the app to create and share your own Auras."
