I'm working on a the submission of an Erasmus+ projet for #MixedReality#authoringtools for #school#education. The objective is to continue the research of my previous project #mixap 🇫🇷 so the tool can be used by #teachers all over the world

@imarfisi@edutooters@education I wonder : do you have (or work on) MR tooling that are open, rather than proprietary walled gardens we see in consumer space?
I keep seeing commercial MR projects failing (Meta2, Magic Leap, Hololens, and now Vision Pro seems to go in the same direction from the start), and I keep thinking each time : "the tech is cool, what this field needs is its very own Tim Berners-Lee" (and a hardware company publishing their specs 😅).
EDIT: assuming that's what you want to work on? I see from Mixap website it's more in the field of what I knew so far as augmented reality.
@kik@edutooters@education
Totally agree. #mixap is #opensource tech and we want it to work with the equipment that schools already have (old tablets, computers...).
It's a progressive web app so it could also work with smart glasses but I've never tried.
I call it #MixedReality because interacting with real objects triggers events in the app but you can also use the term #AugmentedReality. The definitions keep on changing with the new hardware.
@imarfisi My apologies, I didn't mean to question semantics, I just misunderstood what we were talking about at first. :)
Totally makes sense to go with what's already available in the classroom! 👍️And props for using web tech, that's a sure way to avoid those walled gardens.
