About AR Experiences
Augmented Reality (AR) grafts an added layer of information over the real world. AR experiences vary, but all share the premise that the viewer will use some sort of in-between device to overlay material on the environment around them. Typically, a mobile phone or tablet with rear facing camera is called into service as a window into an AR-enhanced space. Applications of AR can include placing furniture inside one’s home, trapping digital monsters in a game scenario, measuring items simply by pointing at their edges and the like.
More About This Resource
The Experience Catalog is an ongoing, collaborative project between Teaching and Learning with Technology (TLT) and the Virtual and Augmented Reality (VAR) Lab at Penn State Behrend. This resource is free to browse for the general public and both TLT and VAR Lab welcome others within the University community who want to partner to further develop the Catalog.
Curious About AR Apps?
The Emerging Technologies team in Creative Learning Initiatives recently held an augmented reality-focused showcase that highlights many of the apps included in this Experience Catalog – and they recorded it for anyone to review.
