AURASMA TOOL
Aurasma is a cool augmented reality tool that allows you to create overlay of images that are scaned using the app.It works as a very cool alternative to QR codes. SOme used may include book reviews, poster speeches etc. Try your Aurasma by scanning this image.
MAKE YOUR OWN AURA
My suggestion
Go ahead and record student videos first and place it on a camera roll. Then you can create auras.WN AURA
- Download free aurasma
- I made an account so that I would not lose my stuff – takes a second
- On the menu on the bottom click +
- Click device
- On the top click +- this allows you to select an original image or take a pic for your overlay ( this is apic or a video that will play once someone scans over the aura
- Click select and camera to capture trigger image - note- not all images work – they have to be clear
- Once you take a pic position your overlay where thou want it to trigger ( make it size you want as well)
- Name it
- Done
