The first day of our project’s seminar in Malta has been concluded successfully. The contents of the seminar were organized by MECB L.T.D., our partner organization in this KA1 project. Τhe participants met with the Director of the partner organization Dr. Jonathan Borg, who went on to display and explain the general concepts and uses of the technology known as “Augmented Reality”.

During the course of the day, Dr. Borg went on great lengths to explain the principles of Augmented Reality, and portrayed elaborate examples of its uses and its application especially to Adult Education.

The distinction and differences between Reality, Virtual Reality and Augmented Reality were noted, and examples of known applications and freeware and software were displayed and their benefits/drawbacks described.

All participants evaluated the day with a positive enthusiasm, and are very eager to meet the next teachers and proceed with creating step by step an AR Project.

For the second and third days, the participants were acquainted with the next professor, Dr Philip Farrugia. Dr. Farrugia expanded on the concepts of augmented reality, and provided ample examples of its use within the boundaries of Adult Education.

During the sessions of these two days, the group got to see and experience practical examples of Augmented Reality projects, and were introduced to Virtual Reality design software and principles.

After installing the software to the group’s computers, the members proceeded to create a series of sample objects in the Virtual Design Interface, and completed their understanding of the basic use of the software.

At this point, all were eager to see the culmination of their efforts in the next sessions.

The last two days of the seminar were the most critical, since the group would be moving towards to seeing what fruit their efforts brought. After providing the group separate tasks for Virtual Reality Design, Dr. Farrugia conceded the podium to Dr. Emmanuel Francalanza, who proceeded to explain the various conversion methods from VR to Augmented Reality.

Dr. Francalanza fascinated the group by introducing them to the VR hardware (such as the legendary Oculus Rift) and various Augmented Reality web pages and service providers. During the sessions, the participants managed to create their own basic and simple Augmented Reality projects, uploading them to some test accounts they created, and perform group projects.

At the end of the final day, Dr. Borg joined us for the evaluation and feedback of the project’s fulfilment, and proceeded to present the group with their certificates of attendance.

The group will now return with their newly gained knowledge and try to apply it individually to their own fields.
