"Augmented reality (AR) is a new and unfamiliar concept to most of us, but one which you can expect to hear a lot more of in coming months. AR enables users to handle, and interact with, virtual 3D objects in real time - not by using a mouse, keyboard or joystick but as if they were holding them in their hand."

Learnosity's Voice-based products use the telephone to enable language students and teachers to interact on a one to one level

Junaio allows you to create, explore and share information in a completely new way using augmented reality. By combining innovative online and mobile technologies you will be able to see any kind of location-based content through the display of your mobile phone. junaio is bringing the Internet to the real world around you. So get ready for the Outernet experience and join in!

"The aim of this section of the course is to explore in greater depth the controversy as to how far technology does, or does not, condition social change. A useful starting point for these discussions would be:"

"Workshop 'Technology-enhanced learning in the context of technological, societal and cultural transformation' November 30 to December 1 in Garmisch-Partenkirchen, Bavaria"

"The Rendez-Vous is a series of independent but collocated workshops broaching Technology-Enhanced Learning with a special focus on "Orchestration", "Connecting Learners" and "Contextualisation"."

"DMLcentral.net is the online presence for the Digital Media and Learning Research Hub located at the system-wide University of California Humanities Research Institute and hosted at the UC Irvine campus. We think digital media practices are fundamentally reshaping society in far-reaching ways, especially in how people all around the world are learning and connecting with one another."

"Futurelab is passionate about transforming the way people learn. Tapping into the huge potential offered by digital and other technologies, we develop innovative resources and practices that support new approaches to learning for the 21st century."

"Reality Mining defines the collection of machine-sensed environmental data pertaining to human social behavior. This new paradigm of data mining makes possible the modeling of conversation context, proximity sensing, and temporospatial location throughout large communities of individuals. Mobile phones (and similarly innocuous devices) are used for data collection, opening social network analysis to new methods of empirical stochastic modeling."

"Learning with mobile technologies is an emerging field with a developing research agenda and many questions surrounding the suitability of traditional research methods to investigate and evaluate the new learning experiences associated with mobility and support for increasingly informal learning. This book sets out the issues and requirements for mobile learning research, and presents recent efforts to specify appropriate theoretical frameworks, research methods and tools. Through their accounts of particular mobile learning projects, leading researchers in the field present their experiences and approaches to key aspects of mobile learning research such as data capture and analysis, and offer structured guidance and suggestions on adopting and extending these approaches."

Visual Assets

Abstract: The application of computer-generated imagery in live-video streams on mobile devices, as a way to expand the real-world, is finally available for the masses on an affordable basis. Augmented and mixed-reality scenarios are now a common fixture of our technology arsenal of methods to acquire information about our surroundings. This emergence of augmented reality (AR) also has great potential to support individual and group learning. I will share thoughts and experiences on how AR will change the way we view and experience learning in a situated context."

"EVOLVE in Partnership with Educamp. Seminar on Mobile Learning"

Google Maps Navigation is an internet-connected GPS navigation system with voice guidance. It is part of Google Maps for mobile and is available for phones with Android 2.0.

The MIT Media Lab is a place where the future is lived, not imagined.

As a pioneer in the area of augmented reality technology, metaio develops software products for systems driven by visual interaction in both real and virtual worlds. Our Unifeye software platform not only lets you place 3D animations directly into live video streams, but also supports the seamless integration of images from the external user environment.

The Mobile Research Conference is the first industry event entirely dedicated to mobile surveys, connecting scientific research and best corporate practice.

The Horizon Project, as the centerpiece of NMC's Emerging Technologies Initiative, charts the landscape of emerging technologies for teaching, learning and creative expression and produces the NMC's annual Horizon Report. Since the launch of the Horizon Project in March 2002, the NMC has held an ongoing series of conversations and dialogs with hundreds of technology professionals, campus technologists, faculty leaders from colleges and universities, and representatives of leading corporations.
