HP Reveal
With HP Reveal tool, users create “Auras,” augmented reality experiences
attached to physical objects. Here’s how Aurasma’s website explains it: “The
key components of an Aura are a Trigger Image (the image or object that
Aurasma recognizes) and an Overlay (the digital element that is launched
on your mobile device when the Aurasma viewfinder recognizes a Trigger
Image”).
That means you could have a video play when students scan an image on
a bulletin board, or have them scan some area of your classroom and have
a popping up image that sends them to a website for more information on
the thing they’re looking at.
Aurasma comes in two versions: Users view Auras through the mobile App
(which is now being called HP Reveal); they can also create Auras by the
App, but its capabilities are limited. Then there’s the web-based Aurasma
Studio, which Aurasma recommends using to create more complex content.
If the first experience with this tool could seem not easy and quite
time-consuming to learn, our advice for teachers who want to try it would
be to find someone who already has some experience (even through
Twitter) and get them to show you the steps. For ideas, check out this list
of 41 ideas for using Aurasma in the classroom .
