Augmented reality (AR for short) is a technology that blends the real world with virtual elements, allowing you to place virtual, three-dimensional animations and people in real rooms.
Following on the highly successful WDR augmented reality app covering history from 1933–1945, which was downloaded 1.5 million times, the German broadcaster is releasing its “Die Klima App” (The Climate App).
- Step into a virtual environment and experience the devastating regional forest fire in Gummersbach, Germany, as well as the dangers faced by residents and volunteers during the rescue operations.
- Four young people join you virtually in the classroom to talk about the different ways in which climate change has impacted them.
Designed for students aged 13 to 16 years and suitable for inclusive learning groups, the climate app modules lend themselves to varied, interdisciplinary use.
