Augmented Reality is definitely the next big thing in bridging the gap between the digital and physical world. This 3D Augmented Reality 3D Book teaches children about the layers of the earth, how are they discovered, how do they related and function, seismic waves, comparative sizes, and more. The Institute for the Promotion of Teaching Science and Technology, an agency under the Ministry of Education, produced this Augmented Reality Learning Media that would be appealing and enjoyable to children because of its unique 3D interaction and presentation.

Check it out, it give a whole need meaning to the concept of a pop-up book! Children would be much more receptive to reading if the text literally jumped out of the book at them. If we had books like this when we were younger I am sure we would have all become avid readers!

The world’s first ever Immersive Technology Summit will be held at the Los Angeles Center Studios (LACS) on October 21st, 2010.

Technology based on this concept enables users to meet and talk to one another as if they share the same space and time, even if they are far apart from each other. This is the goal of the development of mutual telexistence commu (more…)
