Aurasma is an augmented reality reality app that, at first, may seem hard to understand, but has a really simple concept. The process to create an Aurasma is the the following. First, we find an image to connect to a video. Then we create the video and through a series of steps we intertwine the two to create an augmented reality that anyone with the Aurasma app can visualize.
What my seventh grade class did was choose a scientific topic and, after researching and analyzing it, we created a poster displaying our conclusions on the topic and what we investigated. Then we made a three minute video ( the app limits the video size that you can use) and connected it to the poster. This allowed anyone that followed our Aurasma channel to be able to see the video come up when they focused the app's camera on the poster.
This is not only an easy way to make a presentation, but it also saved the class from the nervousness of presenting in front of a live audience. And now that you know how to use the app, you can use it on any subject or at work and make your life a little bit easier.
