[ipad] Sandbox AR

[Koldov]

Just been asked to put this on our iPads, apparently so the children can run around the school with their iPads looking for dinosaurs.... what could go wrong?

 

Looking for anyone with any experience in this app for opinions, ease of set-up and creating whatever (can a teacher do it)...?

Or alternatively any other (free) AR app for the iPad that is just as good (or even better/easier)...?

It is probably because of this

The ipads need to be newish (from 2017 and running ios 12.0) for it to work

 

there are legacy AR resources here for older ipads https://sites.google.com/lgfl.net/legacy-augmented-reality-resou/home

 

and you can use adobe aero https://www.adobe.com/uk/products/aero.html

I think our last class set for renewal is still on 12.5.5 so hopefully will just scrape in!

 

I've never used anything like this before, does anyone know what is actually involved?

 

I'm hoping to just deploy the app and not hear from the teacher about it again...

 

Or is there going to be a lot of we need to save these files somewhere, we need to print these images/codes, we need to share something with/access the other iPads or we need to access these websites...

Cheer up, searching your school for magic dinosaurs sounds awesome. I'm sure they'll let you join in if you ask.
