Mixed Reality – Helping People See More Clearly (And Learn More Deeply)

Mixed Reality 1 Minute

Are Augmented Reality (AR) and Virtual Reality (VR) Technologies too futuristic for the public sector? Not anymore! There is no shortage of ways this exciting technology can be incorporated into public service and it’s being implemented more and more. This thought-provoking session showcases the benefits and practical uses of Augmented and Virtual Reality resources in the worlds of both government and education.

Inspired by the development and progress of our “Mixed Reality for Education” two day course at UEN, this presentation summarizes the benefits of using virtual reality and augmented reality tools in the classroom.  The Apple Keynote slides are available here in PDF format with presenter notes, and the videos used can be found just below.  If you have questions, or would like to see this presentation again at one of your events, please email me: michael@uen.org
