Augmented Reality to help your Reality
Presented by Shelley Tomich
First, what in the world is Aurasma?
• Aurasma is a FREE app for iOS and Android devices. It uses advanced image recognition
to blend a 3D image/video onto a 2D image. These blended images are called “Auras.”
Ok, what?
• Think Harry Potter - do you remember all the talking and moving paintings on the wall? It
is a lot like that. Though Harry Potter used magic, we are going to use technology!
• When someone holds the Aurasma app over a pre-marked picture, it will bring that picture
to life. Take a look:
• In some cases, Aurasma can be used to replace previous QR code activities. Some
differences include the ability to stay in-app for most of your activities, create linked videos
in-app, and linking a picture of your choosing as the trigger.
• Still don’t get it? Check out this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GBKy-hSedg8
What can I do with Aurasma in the classroom?
• The possibilities are endless! One of the biggest things I do is to use Aurasma as a way to
“clone” myself in the classroom. I record myself reteaching or giving instructions for an
activity and if a kid gets stuck, first place they can go to is re-listen to instructions.
• Some other ideas out there:
• Student created book trailers.
• Supplement textbooks.
• Embed video tutorials for homework.
• Word Walls that come to life.
• Foreign Language vocabulary.
• AR scavenger hunts.
• Tag equipment in schools with virtual manuals.
• Tour of the school.
• Interactive bulletin boards (have a picture come to life with student performances or
explanations of activities!).
• School newsletters could come to life!

id=com.aurasma.aurasma&hl=en
• Follow me
• By QR code/link
• Next, you will need to follow my channel on Aurasma to see my Auras. (More
on channels later). Scan this QR code (twice if new to Aurasma) or go here to
follow my channel.
• Search
• Open Aurasma.
• Click the triangle at the bottom.

Aurasma Terms to know:
• Aurasma - name of the app. Pronounced “Or-Az-Muh.”
• Trigger Images - the image used to kick-start an interactive experience. This image can be
anything!
• Overlay - the video or other experience that appears when a user scans the trigger image.
• Auras - What the experience is called when someone is using Aurasma. This is the
combined effort of trigger images and overlays.
• Channel - You must follow someone’s Aurasma channel in order to actually see their
aurasmas. Once you start following a channel all of a user’s aurasmas should play
appropriately. Think of it as like following a Facebook page in order to actually see what
they are posting. You can set up a QR code to follow someone’s channel.

• Next, scan the picture below. This is an example of how I use the app with students. I
created a notation worksheet to go with the app “The Rain, Rain Story App.” Then I
recorded myself giving instructions. Students were then able to help themselves using the
app. Give it a shot!

Create an Aura
• Click the + button at the bottom.
• Then click “Device” and the + sign at the top.
• You will create your overlay first (the part that
plays).
• Either choose a video from your photo album
or create one using the camera.
• Then you will choose your trigger image (this
causes the overlay to play). Make sure the
cursor is on green at the bottom (this means a
great image for an aura!)
• Give your aura a name and choose whether it is
private or public. If it is private, then only those
who follow your private channel will see your
Aura. However, if it is associated with a public
channel, everyone will see it.
• Then choose to add to channel. If you only
have one channel, it will automatically add to
that channel.
