So I was looking for augmented reality videos and I found this TED video I saw is about a company called Aurasma. It specializes in image recognition through our cell phones and animating a still picture. Augmented reality has been able to change the way we live our everyday lives. With the help of our phones we have the ability to make them see and think the way our brain does. As Matt Mills shows us, it is a simple way to get our information faster by simple image recognition. It is something that will definitely revolutionize the way we do things. Just like he says instead of looking up online how a router works, we could simply take a screenshot of it and our phones will recognize this and give us a video showing how to use it. This new technology makes still images live and some even 3-D something we never thought it be possible in our lifetime, or at least I never thought it would be possible.

He also talks how the classroom can change, it can become a more interactive class where children would be more apt to engage and see how this works. Therefore an increase in the engagement in children and what they are learning.  I think this type of augmented reality really helps in the advancement of how children will learn in the future.

This is an amazing opportunity for us and life as we know it. There is great potential in this side of augmented reality how could we resist in making something 3-D ourselves or make a still picture animated! It will definitely change society something like this, as instead or just taking a picture we can connect more people and in a way be more creative in what we want to share with everyone else.
