As we are all super excited for Christmas, we thought we would share a festive technology idea you could use. Everybody loves an advent calendar, and there is nothing better than getting that little piece of chocolate every morning for 24 days, or is there? We decided to pump a little bit more excitement into our advent calendars this year with the help of technology.
To add a twist on a well loved tradition, we created an augmented reality advent calendar using the Aurasma app. By scanning each image a video will appear giving facts about that day. It then tells the participant to go and find their prize. You can download the calendar on the left then follow the channel “Lboro eLearn Calendar” to view our videos, but don’t forget to hide some prizes!!!
Of course you can record your own videos of more specific clues, but below is an example of the generic videos we have recorded. Have fun with it!
