Instead of me explaining this to you and maybe getting you confused...enjoy this YouTube video that will do a whole lot better than I will in the explanation category.
So, now that we understand what is what and which is which, let me share my thoughts!
In my opinion, this is just the beginning of all of this. I would say in the last 5-10 years, it was a start of all of the technology for this. Now, it's the beginning. Now is when all of this actually gets a name, is sold to the general public, and used on a daily basis.
I feel as though, through reading all of my other blog posts, you all know how I actually feel about all of this "gaming stuff". In my world, the simple pen and paper will never be fully replaced. However, I also understand that times are changing...and so do I. I think these AR and VR types of ideas can be used in a fierce way in education. For example, "placing students" in another culture through Augmented Reality could have very serious learning experiences linked in. But, like I said, paper and pencil, and self generated thoughts will not be...hopefully.
