Geospatial Augmented Reality

Check out this article about how Simon Frasier University is taking advantage of virtual environments and augmented reality in the classroom (and beyond). These technologies are flourishing in some areas, but they are slow to find wide adoption. This probably has a lot to do with the cost of most of the hardware associated. Either way, if you aren’t too familiar with some of the uses of AR, I would point you to the proceedings of the VSMM over the last few years, where examples have been getting ever more exciting. BTW, VSMM is going to be in China in October if you have the time and cash 🙂
