HP Reveal

 

       

     Hi, everyone! Today, I'm going to introduce you  HP Reveal which is an Augmented Reality app. I met with this app in one of my classes, Instructional Technologies and Material Design, in Istanbul University.
     In education we can create augmented reality lesson plans by using HP Reveal to make classes more interesting and fun, so we can improve learning. Let's say that as a teacher you will teach your students the animals. You'll give them handouts on which there are different animal pictures and names. So, students will try to match the pictures with the names and will memorize them. But, come on! We are living in the 21th century. These kind of activities do not excite the children anymore and they are too boring. So, what can we do to catch their attention? Children love animations, why not to use them? With HP Reveal it is actually possible.
      First you download the app. Open the app and take a picture of the target image. Once you do that you'll pick an overlay that is an augmented reality popping up out of the image. Then, you'll place it on the image, name it and save it. When you scan your image, the augmented reality will pop up. Now, let's take a look at what I did as an example:

                                   

I hope you use this app and make your classes much more fun!
