The Collaborative Alternative Augmented Reality Series (CAARS) project will develop alternative, augmented reality for use in teaching on our health programmes. This mixed reality (occasionally referred to as hybrid reality) is generally understood to refer to merging virtual technologies with the physical world to create new environments, where aspects of both the virtual and physical can interact. This approach is gaining significant interest in the field of education across a wide range of disciplines, from fine art to mathematics.
The pilot project research is being funded by Bournemouth University and is being undertaken by:
Denyse King – Lecturer in midwifery and public health practitioner
Liz Faulkner – Academic learning designer
David Hunt – Learning Technologist
Debbie Holley – Professor
The pilot platform was created by Daden Ltd.
