  What is augmented reality?
  Augmented reality (AR) is a type of virtual reality.  It is an interactive, immersive , 
  reality-based display environment. It takes the capabilities of computer generated 
  display, sound, text and effects to enhance the user’s real-world experience. 
  Unlike Virtual Reality (VR), there is no need to buy additional hardware or 
  attachments; all you will need is a computer or mobile device to get started.
  Classroom Applications
  AR can help students get immersed and engaged in any content and subject area. 
  It can help this new technological generation become better learners. Students will 
  experience content and problem solving from different perspectives. Instead of 
  being consumers of content, students can be makers of content with programs like 
  Metaverse. You can also make virtual tours of any place in the world or just a 
  virtual gallery in your classroom using programs like Google Tour Creator and 
  Expeditions. The possibilities are endless!
  What are you waiting for? 
  Be a part of this growing field in education. Make content come alive in your 
  classroom! There are tools ready for you to get started in augmented reality. I will 
  show you how to get started with Metaverse which will help facilitate the process.  
  You don’t have to be an expert; all you need is the right tools and your 
  imagination. 
  Let's get started!
   STEP 1: Create a Metaverse Account
   Metaverse is an augmented reality platform that can be used for 
   education to build  interactive learning experiences for the classroom. 
   Teachers and students can create augmented reality experiences 
   without needing to write any code.
