(There were about 250 people in the audience for this Sample Lecture on Saturday June 28th.) Best wishes, Joel -- Dr J.

Essentially it's an app that allows viewers to scan an image (that has been linked with some augmented content by the creator) and view it on a smart device (a bit like QR codes but from an image instead. I'm thinking it could be useful to enhance posters/ signs etc. If anyone is interested I'd be happy to show what I've tried with it so far, but it would be great to have a real teaching/learning use case for it.
