AUGMENTED REALITY

 

WHAT IS AUGMENTED REALITY?




Augmented reality is one of the biggest technology trends right now. Augmented reality provides us with the real-life environment right in front of us. but, before elaborating on this technology, we should be able to make the distinction between augmented reality and virtual reality. 

-Augmented reality uses a real-world setting while virtual reality is completely virtual.

-Augmented reality users can control their presence in the real world; Virtual reality users are controlled by the system

-Virtual reality requires a headset device, but Augmented reality can be accessed with a smartphone.

-Augmented reality enhances both the virtual and real-world while virtual reality only enhances a fictional reality

Augmented reality can be defined as a system that incorporates three basic features: a combination of real and virtual worlds, real-time interaction, and accurate three-dimensional registration of virtual and real objects. This experience is seamlessly connected with the physical world such that it is perceived as an immersive aspect of the real environment.

Perhaps the most famous example of augmented reality technology is the game Pokemon Go. In the game, players locate and capture Pokemon characters that pop up in the real world on your sidewalk, in a fountain, even in your own bathroom.

Apart from the games, there are as many uses for augmented reality in our everyday lives as there are Pikachu on the loose in Pokemon GO. Here are just a few examples:

  • - navigation systems use augmented reality to find a route over the live view of the road.
  • -Military pilots see an augmented reality projection of their altitude, speed, and other data on their helmet visor.
  • -Neurosurgeons sometimes use an augmented reality projection of a 3-D brain to aid them in surgeries.   
  • -At historical sites like Pompeii in Italy, augmented reality can project views of ancient civilizations over today’s ruins, bringing the past to life.

SECOND LIFE

Resim
  Second Life  is a three-dimensional virtual, online world where users create avatars that can travel to worlds and lands, participate in role-playing games, create and sell products, and socialize with other Second Life residents. New Second Life users select their avatars from generic male and female templates (residents and their avatars don't necessarily share the same gender). Although a resident could use an unmodified template, everyone else would know that he or she was a new user who doesn't know how things work. Most residents customize their avatars a little before leaving Orientation Island. One important factor in avatar customization is the inventory. The inventory holds hair, skin, objects, animations, and body parts and has an infinite capacity. A user can open his or her inventory and choose to put on or remove items, like clothing or hairstyles. Residents can add to an avatar's inventory at any time, creating a practically limitless numbe...

MAYER'S COGNITIVE THEORY OF MULTIMEDIA LEARNING

Resim
                 Mayer's Cognitive Theory of Multimedia Learning Firstly, let's get to know about the multimedia principle. The multimedia principle states that “people learn more deeply from words and pictures than from words alone”.  However, simply adding words to pictures is not an effective way to achieve multimedia learning.  The goal is to instructional media in the light of how the human mind works.  This is the basis for Mayer’s cognitive theory of multimedia learning.  This theory proposes three main assumptions when it comes to learning with multimedia: There are two separate channels known as auditory and visual for processing information. And, it is also referred to as Dual-coding Theory, Each channel has a limited capacity, Learning is an active process of filtering, selecting, organizing, and integrating information based upon prior knowledge. Humans can only process a finite amount of information in a chan...

QUIZLET

  Quizlet  is a platform that creates and designs tools used for studying and learning.  The platform includes digital flashcards, matching games , and even live quizzes .  As a memorization tool, Quizlet lets registered users create sets of terms and definitions customized for their own needs.  These sets of terms can then be accessible to students by studying a variety of modes. as mentioned above, flashcards are one of them.  it is similar to paper flashcards. Users are shown a "card" for each term, which they can flip over by clicking or using the arrow keys or space bar.   The user has the option for the face of the card to be an image, a word, or both.  In the matching mode, users are presented with a grid of scattered terms. Users drag terms on top of their associated definitions to remove them from the grid and try to clear the grid in the fastest time possible. personally, I used to have this application back then when I was at the period...
