Augmented Reality (+ Houzz)

 


Hello everyone!

Augmented reality is a type of experience that enriches existing reality. This technology is created by combining the physical elements we perceive in our environment with computer-derived data such as graphics, video, sound, GPS. It provides real-time enrichment of the sensory elements created and their interaction with the physical world. In other words, It's a reality where the real and virtual worlds are not completely separated from each other, on the contrary, they are even more intertwined. 



Teachers can with Augmented reality, engage students in the creation of compelling, interactive, immersive experiences that support extensive language practice. With an Augmented reality app, students can scan pages of the books, showing more information about the object. AR can help students to visualize things and comprehend the concept better. It can also as I said, be helpful for language learning education. As an AR app example, Houzz offers a collection of many furnitures and home decor objects that can be virtually experienced. Such a large collection of material could create opportunities for learners to recognize and describe an extensive variety of descriptive characteristics associated with such objects, allowing them to engage in extensive vocabulary practice through speaking or writing.
