ARiSE: augmented reality in school environments

ARiSE is an exciting IST project funded under the 4th Call for proposals that will develop a new technology, the Augmented Reality Teaching Platform (ARTP) by adapting existing augmented reality (AR) technology for museums to the needs of students in primary and secondary school classes. Building on existing open platforms, the new technology will promote team work, collaboration between classes in the same school or even remote collaboration between schools in different countries in a learner-centered approach. Using 3D presentations and user-friendly interaction techniques will lead to better understanding of scientific and cultural content coupled with high student motivation.
