According to the EdSurge article, How To Transform Your Classroom With Augmented Reality by Patricia Brown,
Augmented Reality (AR) content can be accessed by scanning or viewing a trigger image with a mobile device that creates a subsequent action. This action can be a video, another image, 3D Animations, Games, QR code, or whatever you want it to be.
There are a variety of ways to bring AR to your library and classroom such as Chromville (which is one of my favorites), Quiver, Daqri and teachers can even create their own augmented reality educational content for students with AUGTHAT, which is perfect for differentiating instruction and driving student growth.
And now our friends at Capstone have created a very special augmented READING experience for our students, libraries and classrooms too!
Capstone 4D brings our readers an augmented reading experience through books. It blends the benefits of print books with bonus digital content to enhance learning and appeal to the YouTube generation.
Readers can download the free Capstone 4D app to their favorite device from the Apple App Store or Google Play, or access through www.Capstone4D.com with a password found inside a 4D book, and see videos that relate to that book.
Curious Pearl Science Girl, where Pearl shares her excitement for STEM knowledge through four 4D books.
With augmented reality features, readers will be able to scan sidebars and bring up videos to enhance their understanding of science topics.
With all of these books, it is very easy to launch and explore the augmented reality experience with Capstone 4D.
Watch this video and see how she creates origami while reading and interacting with the pages. I can just picture this series in a Makerspace, which would be a terrific resource for creating something special and unique.
I love how the girl in the video is at home with the 4D book. I know these would have been a favorite of my daughters to check out from the library as she created origami and learned about science too.
You can find the Curious Pearl 4D series here and Origami Crafting in 4D here on the Capstone site.
And one more exciting thing about Capstone 4D....This is just the start.

Matt Keller, Capstone Chief Marketing Officer shared,
Capstone 4D is an exciting way to bring another dimension to the pages of a book, engaging kids with a 360-degree view of a topic. Readers get the best of both worlds – kids who prefer print get bonus video content, and kids who prefer digital technology are highly motivated to explore the pages within a book. We hope librarians who haven’t had a chance to see Capstone 4D in action will visit us at AASL and see firsthand how these books can engage their readers and create inspired learning experiences in their schools.
Check out Capstone's 4D today....I know that you and your students will love this augmented reading experience too!
