Time Details

12.00-12.45 Interactive: Augmented Reality

Luke Heemsbergen & Aleesha Rodriguez

“AR you kid enough to play with us?” In this session, we’ll playfully explore Augmented Reality (AR) apps together. After a busy DCAM, it’s time to slow down and engage in some generative play while bonding with the people in your personal proximity.

Together, we’ll creatively sketch out habitats and creatures before bringing them to life using AR, and even augment our own identities in realtime. While the session will mainly focus on play, we’ll also reflect on our actions in stimulating discussion that opens up how AR is shaping digital childhoods everyday.

12.45-1.00 Closing remarks
