Augmented Reality

AR is the closest to the real environment because it consists mostly of real world images, with a minority of the images being computer-generated. Augmented virtuality is a term for applications that create a mostly virtual world, but which includes a few images from the real world. (Milgram, 1994)

A challenge is an activity to do at a place. A challenge might ask a student to take a photo, solve a location-based riddle, scan a QR code, complete some activity, or simply check-in. They can include text, images, audio and video but must be tied to a physical place.

Treks connect places and challenges into themed and branded paths. For example, the “Open Day” trek is a set of locations during a campus open day with a challenge featured at each one. Players can choose to visit the places and do the challenges in the order listed, or in whatever order they choose and each trek has its own leaderboard and activity stream.
