Using Tinkercad AR/VR

 

We've continued the process of using Tinkercad, the Tinkercad App and our iPads with our students to project our Tinkercad creations as AR/VR image around our school.

These figures are part of our recent creation of a 'lego-like figure' design task.   The first part of the task was creating an image.  In this example shown here left the figure ha not fully been developed.  The student has had two sessions with the design and needs to obviously complete the arms.  However the student can project the image already into locations around the school.   The task has currently taken two sessions (of half an hour each) to get to this point.

In the example shown left the student has taken the idea of a specific lego figure and then used Tinkercad to project it into a giant sized figure.

This has been done without green screen obviously as one of the strengths of using Tinkercad as an AR/VR tool you can essentially project the image anywhere with a simple push of the App button and then resize the image by dragging on it.

Our students who are seven and eight year olds are able to complete this activity independently from the design (which is of course original) and then into the projecting and the image manipulation.  If you would like any further details about this process please contact us.  There is also an expanded post about this on the companion Facebook page for this site - you can access that by clicking on the link here.
