Augmented Reality

You may have heard about virtual reality, but have you heard of augmented reality? According to Merriam-Webster, "augmented reality is an enhanced version of reality created by the use of technology to overlay digital information on an image of something being viewed through a device (such as a smartphone camera)."

Today in the library, Mrs. Gellerman had a little Halloween fun, coloring in this handout from QuiverVision. The Quiver App combines physical coloring from “back in the day” with state of the art augmented reality technology.

With the advent of "adult coloring" books, coloring has seen a true resurrection in our school library. Teachers and students alike can put their own artistic spin on pages, and now with Quiver they "can bring their unique coloring creations to life in extraordinary 3D augmented reality."

Using colored pencils, Mrs. Gellerman fills in the pumpkins.
First, we stopped by the Quiver website to print out some free coloring sheets. Next, using colored pencils, Mrs. Gellerman, colored in the sheet above. We then downloaded the free Quiver-3D Coloring App. Finally, we scanned the coloring sheet and this is what happened!


You can take photographs and videos right inside the Quiver app. We had so much fun, and we know you will too! We have many more sheets in the library for you to use, like this cool Starbucks one below!
