Augmented Reality Modules
This course is a practicum that uses a new Apple Teacher curriculum built around 9 freely available AR apps for the iPhone and iPad. Students learn to design lessons incorporating AR across the full range of PK-16 content.
Module 10: Reality Composer App
Reality Composer is a more advanced app with which you can construct your own 3D compositions for augmented reality. You create virtual elements using a built-in library of customizable assets, or you can import your own original assets. Then you can add animations and sounds that can be triggered by user taps, light, proximity, or physical movements.
