Augmented Reality
The growth of Geotagging is enabling web 3 to take off and bring the web to the individual via the mundane camera app on your G3 phone. Point your screen and admire the scenery… with the relevant items on your view finder highlighted on an overlay and information displayed as well as links to the internet… When you point your camera at a great building, you can access information by a simple press of the screen. It places you physically at the heart of the information network. This is also available for geography (Wikitude), specific places (Nearest tube, London bus routes,), buildings and things (SREngine), and even…people (Polar Rose)!
If you want to find out who is twitting what around you, just use TwittARound and suddenly your screen comes alive with information about your immediate twitting world.
Using http://qik.com/ you can use your camera to send your reality to others 1000’s miles away…
When the levels of inquisitiveness are getting lower and lower all the time in our classes, AR might bring the the zing back into learning.
