The document discusses emerging technologies in education including augmented reality (AR) which superimposes digital elements onto a user's view of the environment by overlaying computer-generated content in real time to create a simulated reality. It also discusses 3D printing which creates objects by adding material layer by layer, with 3D printers converting designs into 2D slices that are combined to form 3D objects. The document is authored by Rupert Forsythe and explores how AR works using device cameras and apps to trigger virtual environments, as well as how 3D printing works by building up objects slice by slice.

4. ???Augmented Reality (AR) is a way of superimposing digital
elements onto a user’s view of their environment, by
overlaying computer-generated content that works in real
time to create a simulated reality..
What is Augmented Reality?
HOWdoes it work?
The camera on the device scans the
content/environment and then using a pre-loaded app,
the AR content is triggered and a real-time simulated
virtual environment is displayed, which the user can
interact with via their mobile device.

8. ???3-D printing. AM is the means of creating an object by
adding material to the object layer by layer
What is 3D Printing ?
HOWdoes it work?
There are three different ways 3D printers work but they
all rely on the printer converting a design into individual
2D slices which are then combined to make the final 3D
object.
