Augmented Reality (AR)


Augmented Reality (AR)

Looking at a picture of an object is our smartphones that seems rising (like the pictures below) and able to be rotated three sixty degree is interesting , isn't it? To have this, it require a technology that is called as augmented reality (AR). 'augment' means to increase or to add to the existing reality.

AR basically a technology that superimposes an image that is generated from computer on the view of the real world, then producing a composite view. It is kind of an interactive digital experience of the real object that is being 'augmented'. AR is used in smartphones apps which employ the phone's camera in order to show the real world in front of us.


Image result for IKEA AR'If you ever heard or play POKEMON GO, you had actually came across the AR. AR is something like we give a life to a non-living object. The other famous example of AR application is the IKEA apps. By using this app, customers are able to select their desired furniture then try to fit it in their empty home spaces. The object really looks like real !!!After that, they can make decision whether to buy it or not, just through online purchases! 

My selected ZAPCODE
To design AR, we need to use a course-ware. Luckily, I have experienced constructing and applying a simple AR in my Physics Technology & Innovation class conducted by Dr NurulHuda. We go to zapworks in order to create our own AR, by using the free trial version. From here, we selected our zapcode from widget to be placed on the screen of our created AR version. The zapcode is basically works like QR code.

Meanwhile, at our smartphones, we have to download zappar from the apps store. The make everything works, we open zappar apps in our smartphones, then we scan the zapcode at our created AR, hence the objects/video that we have set up will rise on the screen of our phones.

It is very interesting although it is not that easy to create one 😁. I believe we can create a better version with further exploration at zapworks!
Thank you

Concept Mapping

Salam 'alaik,  InshaAllah, today I would like to share about what I've been learning from my Master course that is CONCEPT MAPPING. We did it practically during the lesson, not just learning it by theory. This hands on experience really intrigued me.  Concept Mapping is a verb.  It is  a way to connect the knowledge of certain topics based on its concepts while Concept Map is a noun where  it is a type of graphic organizer used to help students organize and represent knowledge of a subject.  Concept maps  begin with a main idea (or c oncept ) and then branch out to show how that the ideas are connected to the other ideas. In order to link the concepts, we need to start a sentence by a quantity and end it also by a quantity.  Our lecturer, Dr NurulHuda had introduced a website  where we able to apply doing concept map. We practiced using this software by applying 2 topics. The first concept map is for the States of Matter and the second one is for the Trend in Educationa

Smart Classroom

Assalamualaikum & Hi everyone! The first time I enter a classroom for my technology & innovation in physics course in university, it intrigued  me. The classroom is facilitated with devices which hence called as smart classroom. Here I attach several snaps of the view of it, also featuring my lovely course mates & lecturer :) Smart Wall , Smart TV & Dr Nurul Smart Wall & Smart TV + Farah & me 💙 Smart Wall & Smart TV + Roza(from Aceh) & me 💙 Smart Classroom + K. Kamalia & Mira 💙 The idea of this classroom beautiful!The walls are painted at particular area which provides unlimited spaces for teachers to scribble on. It reminds me of how I always advise my students to have separate answer sheet every time they work on the worksheet. They are forbidden to write their answer or ideas for the answer near the question as they kind of limit their thoughts.  My reason is always be that the more space we have, the greater the idea we

Capacitors

Capacitors Capacito r is a device that is normally used in electrical appliances such as radios, computers and TV. There are many different types(looks) of capacitors as shown below: The function of the capacitor is to store electrical charges. Remember , we have 2 types of charges ( positive and negative). Once the capacitor has stored the charge, it can release electrical energy. I give you an example: The flash unit of camera also uses a capacitor. The fact that the camera can give out the flash, it is actually releasing the energy from the charge that is stored in the capacitor. When we measure something , it must has its own quantity and unit. For example, (i) the length (quantity) of a ruler --> the unit is metre (ii) the mass  (quantity) of a ball --> the unit is  kg Same goes to the capacitor, the quantity measured by the capacitor is capacitance and its unit is Farad.  Scientifically, the meaning of capacitance is the ratio of the amount of  charge
