Auburn University's Learning Glass

Using the Learning Glass

You may have admired folks who can work magic with green screens -- pointing at hurricanes or making weather fronts move.
And you may have admired touch screens that allow for on the fly content creation and modification.

Both of these technologies are somewhat pulled together in the Learning Glass.

Imagine you want to capture a process in a video -- drawing it on a white board is awkward because your back is to your audience.  The learning glass allows you to talk to your audience while drawing the process.

Auburn University now has this capability, organized through Auburn Online, starting out in the Biggio Center.  For starters, you can check out http://wp.auburn.edu/auburnonline/media-services/ with additional information at

What do you think you can do with this technology for your class?  Be mindful that the work flow is a complex one that can take quite a bit of time for larger undertakings.  Alternatives that are most certainly less fancy would be using a tablet device with a whiteboard app that allows for recording.  You would lose the coolness factor but may still be able to get the same point across.
