ARMakr The ARMakr app allows you to make and place digital 3d objects that you have made into the real world and then photograph or film them in situ. The digital book shows you how to do this in the context of making a universe to float above your table.

Greenscreen You can use an app called DoInk greenscreen, the 'remove background' tool in Microsoft Powerpoint and the tools in iMovie (Apple) to create greenscreen effects using green items that you have in school and at home.

“Mixed Reality (MR) interfaces combine real and virtual settings in various ways, to enable psychological immersion in a setting that blends physical and digital phenomena.” (Dede et al., 2017, p.4)

Location-aware AR Users interact with AR digital objects through their mobile devices in the indoor or outdoor environment triggered by GPS. (Dunleavy and Dede, 2014, p.735.)

"These two forms of AR (i.e., location-aware and vision-based) leverage several smartphone capabilities (i.e., GPS, camera, object recognition and tracking) to create “immersive” learning experiences within the physical environment, providing educators with a novel and potentially transformative tool for teaching and learning." (Dunleavy and Dede, 2014, p.736)

Vision-based AR Users point the camera in their mobile device towards an object or marker that triggers AR digital media in their device. (Dunleavy and Dede, 2014, p.735.)
