Augmented reality (AR) is a widely used technology in games, marketing, and everyday apps, but what about learning and development? Where do you get started? How should you use it? We will answer these questions through discussion, hands-on development, and interaction in this session.

This session will demonstrate how to get started building an augmented reality (AR) experience for learning. I will introduce you to a low-cost toolset and resources to make developing an AR project simple, effective, and engaging. We will create a custom AR experience from start to finish in this session. You will explore other interactive AR experiences and learn where AR fits in your learning design workflow and the ways it can enhance different learning scenarios.
