I was introduced to Aurasma, an augmented reality app for the latest smart mobile devices last Friday at the ICT for Education conference at Brighton Racecourse. One of the stall holders on the day provided an introduction into the use of augmented reality with mobile devices, and explained how the apps work by detecting trigger images that play digital media associated with these trigger images.
Recently I have been playing around with LED Matrix Toy hacks and thought it would be great to create a Toy Hack LED Matrix poster that would become augmented and start flashing its LED's.
This film below shows the LED matrix Toy Hacks flashing cycle;
Below is a photo of the LED Matrix Toy hack that I used to trigger the Aurasma Aura;
After playing around with a couple of films showing the LED matrix running through its flashing cycle I decided that it would look great if only the LED matrix itself would be augmented within picture. Withy this in mind I created the film below with added music.
We used this Aura and several others during the Shuffle Festival for Home Live Arts. If you scan the QR code using your mobile phone or iPad on the image below you will be directed to the Exploring Senses Aurasma Channel;
If you install the app, follow the Exploring Senses Aurasma channel you will be able to experience the augmented reality experiences first hand.
