AR + VR = MR (Mixed Reality)
This workshop will explore the learning possibilities of augmented reality, virtual reality and 360 ̊ video. Participants are encouraged to bring their own smartphone/tablet to view examples for themselves.
There are dozens of AR apps, a few 'really good' VR experiences and 360 ̊ has recently been supported by YouTube, Facebook and VIMEO.
An outline of how the technologies are converging and how to provide the tools to students to encourage them to demonstrate their understanding.
Too many examples while 'clever' are passive watching of a video, the WOW! wears off quickly with repetition..

36. Google Expeditions is a virtual reality teaching tool that lets you lead
or join immersive virtual trips all over the world — e.g. historical landmarks, dive
underwater with sharks, even visit outer space!
Built for the classroom and small group use, Google Expeditions allows a teacher
acting as a “guide” to lead classroom-sized groups of “explorers” through
collections of 360° and 3D images while pointing out interesting sights along the
way.
Features:
• Guide classroom-sized groups of locally connected users (phone or tablet)
• Explore with a guide in immersive VR with Google Cardboard viewer or use
a tablet or phone in 2D “magic window” mode.
• Connect devices over the same WiFi network - if the Guide has
downloaded some Expeditions, there is no internet connectivity required to run
the Expedition.
• Choose from over 200 Expeditions - each one is a curated set of VR
imagery along with integrated descriptions, talking points and questions.
Do not use this app while driving, walking, or otherwise by being distracted or
disoriented from real world situations that prevent you from obeying traffic or
safety laws.
