- Title
Using Augmented Reality for Geoscience Education in Low-income Elementary Schools.
- Authors
Stellmann, Jessica; Kast, Dieuwertje
- Abstract
Augmented Reality (AR) is an emerging technology that has been suggested to have enormous potential as an educational tool. Augmented Reality Sandboxes, created from a fusion of a table-top sandbox, a Microsoft Kinect and a projector with simulation and visualization software are uniquely suited to bring large-scale geologic and environmental topics into classrooms in a tangible way. The Young Scientists Program at the University of Southern California, with funding from the American Geophysical Union's Celebrate 100 Grant, installed AR Sandboxes in seven Title 1 schools in Los Angeles, as part of a wider mission to increase the presence of emerging technologies in low-income schools.
