Augmented and Virtual Reality

Other Forms of Media production

Augmented Reality

AR is the use of digital technology to alter our visual perception of the real world. We have used AR to age ourselves for the 100th day of school, observe dinosaurs and wild animals and explore the solar system. There's so many more possibilities!

Virtual Reality

Google Expedition Kits are now in our Innovation Lab! From Google: is an immersive education app that allows teachers and students to explore the world through over 1000 virtual-reality (VR) and 100 augmented-reality (AR) tours. You can swim with sharks, visit outer space, and more without leaving the classroom.

GREENSCREEN

Greenscreen is a green background in front of which moving subjects are filmed and which allows a separately filmed background or image to be added to the final creation.

An example of greenscreen used to make a school announcement for Hour of Code!


4th Graders used Green Screen to Produce "The Paper Bag Princess"

Action Cameras

An action camera or action-cam is a digital camera designed for recording action while being immersed in it. Action cameras are therefore typically compact and rugged, and waterproof at surface-level. They typically can take photos in burst mode and time-lapse mode as well as record high-definition video.

360º Cameras

360-degree videos, also known as immersive videos or spherical videos, are video recordings where a view in every direction is recorded at the same time, shot using an omnidirectional camera or a collection of cameras (see more)
