Augmented reality is the technology of combining real word images with computer-generated information in real time.
We can use augmented reality for many things. In this project, you will use the App WallaMe to share your biographies with anybody walking in the streets of your neighbourhood. When they focus the camera on the name of the street, your biography will pop up.

WALLAME
Activity 1: learning about WallaMe
WallaMe is a free app that allows users to hide and share messages in the real world using augmented reality.
Users can take a picture of a surface around them and write, draw and add stickers and photos on them. Once the message (called Wall) is completed, it will be geolocalized and will remain visible through WallaMe's AR viewer by everyone passing by.
Now, individually watch the videos to learn how the app works.
