In a nutshell, Aurasma is an app that allows for any user to enter the world of augmented reality that can be easily accessed by using any of their smart devices. Aurasma allows teachers to provide an alternative to QR codes for students. The application that can be found in the app store for your phone or tablet, can easily turn pictures into 3D videos or images. The software is simple, as it takes the image overlay and uses that as a form of a QR code. But instead of taking you to the site, it will broadcast the photo or video right there in front of you on your phone.
Teachers are able to use this application in all different types of subject areas in which they can see the most benefit from the use of it. The Aurasma Studio is very easy to navigate and use to create your overlays. However, if you want to create a 3D image for your overlay, that will take some extra time and probably some level of expertise.
Note: There is a downfall to this application if you are planning to use it for free though, as when you create your Aura, it will only be able to be viewed by whoever connects with your account. This means that people will need to follow your profile or log-in to your profile in order for the Aura reader to work. This may be problematic, but teachers are able to share their account name and password to as many students that they want.
Personally, I have used this application in my own classroom and it worked wonderfully. The only way it worked wonderfully though was having all my students log-in under my account to view the photos. The process would be too long to get everyone signed up and follow my account. So, the best way is to either pay for the premium account or let everyone sign in under your own name.
