Introduction "SEAMEO : The Real World of Immersive Augmented Reality"

Background of competition

“The Real World of Immersive Augmented Reality” is a synchronous training that has been put together by SEAMEO Secretariat, SEAMEO SEAMOLEC, SEAMEO BIOTROP and SEAMEO RECSAM to guide teachers as well students to adapt AR into 21st century curriculum. This idea supports the SEAMEO education agenda priority areas No.7 and will support the participants to improve technological, critical thinking, improve skills in 3D designing and so many other life skills that are related to Augmented Reality.

An online platform called WebEx will be used to conduct this training course.  The training will be conducted 4 hours/week. The total number of hours for training will be 28 hours and the last 4 hours will be used to guide the students to prepare their own project proposal which the learners will be using to develop their own project which is the expected outcome of the lecture series.

As we will be using free and special featured software programmes called Blender, Unity, AndroidSDK students do not need to have special drawing skill and computer programming for Augmented Reality.

• Students do not need to drawing 3D design on paper.
• Students will only be needed to write minimum code.
• Students do not need to learn a lot of step to build Augmented Reality.
• It’s easy!. Everyone can learn.
• All we need is only an awesome idea and creativity.

After the training, students will learn:

• 3D design process
• Create 3D design model
• Animating 3D model
• Create Augmented Reality by using 3D model
• Deploy application to Android
