Chemistry. Using handheld devices, students explore a physical space to uncover clues and receive data related to a simulated environmental disaster detailed in a game-based scenario using AR simulations.
Geography. Students study an augmented globe in a textbook, and gain both a better representation of the cartographic information and greater options for interaction and comprehension.
History. Visiting actual locations tagged with information, students view images and information from the past in situ, enhancing their comprehension.
