Phil Birchinall (Senior Director of Immersive Content at Discovery Education) explains how the new capabilities of the technology remove the requirement for "tracker images".
The Sandbox AR platform allows the user to bring augmented reality objects/3D models into your environment.
Immersion is the experience of feeling that you are somewhere else; so immersive technology can have that effect when done right.
Immersive content and technology is using devices like Ipad, virtual reality headsets or simple immersive experience that can take place inside a browser on a Chromebooks as well.
Technology is changing and we want to bring the benefits of that change into the classroom.
Crucially you will be able to create your own immersive scenarios as well.
Of the apps that we've got in the App Store at the moment, of the nearly 900,000 downloads, 97% are from Apple devices (iPad). So the data backs up that this is the platform that we should develop on, in the first instance.
