Google Technology Austintown Elementary
Although dinosaurs have not walked the Earth in millions of years, they roamed Austintown Elementary School’s gymnasium Thursday. A few minutes later, tornados swept across the room. The approximately 400 AES students who got to experience these unusual sights via augmented reality technology reacted with delight. “It looks so cool,” said second-grade student Emily Champion, looking at a dinosaur superimposed onto her view of the gym. The experience was provided by Google Expeditions, an augmented reality app Google is piloting at schools.
