Hey everyone, I hope you’re all doing well. Today, I want to talk about Augmented Realiy (AR).

‘’Augmented Reality’’ is like combination of real-world and technology. It is interaction, seeing the real-world on your technological devices. It is trendy nowadays and used in different fields such as archaeology, city planning, military and of course education and language learning. And we are actually familiar with AR. It can be seen in applications such as Pokemon Go, IKEA, Snapchat...etc.  

There are different types of AR;

1. Image-Based AR.  It is an image’s being integrated into real world.
2. Markerless AR: In this version, you do not need any picture or anything to experience AR.
3. Location- Based AR: This version is used outside. Give information about environment.

Today I’ve talked about AR.  I hope you like it and you with your students too. See you
