Ideas to create an augmented class by animating pictures and overlaying them on the original ones.

6. THE TASK
Create an Aura around one picture. The Aura will
show a video created by you where the character
itself explains the more relevant things about
their life.
I was born in Badalona,
I´m 23 years old and
I love swimming.

7. THE ACTIVITIES
• In the box you will find some pictures (you can
find them at the end of the presentation),
choose your favourite or …you can draw a face in
the blank faces sheets.
• Talk to your partner and decide what´s more
relevant about them. If you need more
information search it on wikipedia (who they are,
where and when they were born, why are they
relevant…)
• Write four lines about them (first person!)
• Now it´s time to give the picture a voice!, we will
use the app called Morfo to animate it and create
a video. Save the video in the library afterwards.

8. Animating with Morfo. Helping Guide
• Tap on this Icon
to activate the app
• Tap on “Create a new face”.

9. Animating with Morfo. Helping Guide
• Tap on “Choose here to take
a picture”
• Take a picture of the sheet you have chosen, clic
on “Use photo”

10. Animating with Morfo. Helping Guide
• Frame the head, eyes, nose and mouth.
• Clic “Finish” A page with animals pops
out, cancel it.

11. Animating with Morfo. Helping Guide
• Now you can record your voice! Clic
on start and say what you want your
character to say. Stop when you
finish your message.
Tap here to start your
recording

12. Animating with Morfo. Helping Guide
• Clic play and listen. If you are happy
with the result clic on Share and clic
on Save Video.
• Great! You have animated your
character! Save your video.

13. Activities
• Now, let´s add Augmented Reality to the
picture with Aurasma by overlaying the
video that you have just created to the
picture so when anyone focuses the
picture, the video that you have made will
appear. (Internet required)

14. Create AR with Aurasma.
• First open the app called Aurasma
• Tap on the menu
• Touch the + sign
• Touch on “Device” and touch the + sign
• Choose Photo Album and choose the Morfo
video that you have recorded before

15. Create AR with Aurasma.
• Touch Use and write a name for your Aura, tap
on Finish
• Now, tap on it again and tap on Select.
• Focus your tablet on the chosen picture, wait until
the pointer turns green, then tap the camera
icon.
• Great! Now hang the picture on the wall!
Everytime that you´ll focus that picture with the
Aurasma App the video that you made will popout bringing the picture to live!

17. +Ideas
• Same process can be done with worksheets,
drawings, projects…
• Instead of using Morfo, use an animation
software as Crazy Talk for more complex
animations.
• Coordinate with the Arts and Crafts teacher and
do the same with their self portrait so they can
introduce and describe themselves o their friends.
• Create a chain of questions and answers
beetween the characters so as to facilitate a
dialogue. Imagine Steve Jobs asking Android
about the future…;)
