Podcast: The Digital Classroom
It took me a while to get to this point. It may not be 10 minutes but its something. My podcast is now ready to show on Monday.

Augmented Sound
In most Augmented Reality applications the sound component is still missing. Augmented Reality could be a solution for many problems in sound delivery.
Augmented Sound Reality allows the user to place and move different sound sources in the real world. With Augmented Reality technology, the user is equipped with see-through displays and a simple pen input device to place Augmented Sound sources in the real world. The different sound sources are represented by 3D objects on the head-mounted display.
Augmented Sound can be directly integrated and tested in this Augmented Reality environment. The user can directly manipulate the Augmented Sound sources and observe the results immediately. Another advantage of ASR is low cost. This system requires only a PC, a Web cam, and i-glasses.
Vision Current Augmented Reality applications do not allow direct manipulation of sound sources. Augmented Sound Reality is the first prototype that combines sound and graphics in an Augmented Reality environment and offers a wide spectrum for further applications. Especially in the authoring process for Augmented Reality applications, it becomes difficult to place the sound sources using traditional 2D/3D authoring tools. Now, authors can place Augmented Sound sources in real 3D space, and they have a more intuitive experience of how the audio really sounds. In another application of this technology, the user can place virtual furniture in a room. This application will be combined with Augmented Sound Reality, so that the user doesn't see the newly established room, but can hear how the radio or DVD player sounds.
RjDj is an amazing new way of experiencing music - YOU are inside the music! Its the soundtrack to your life !
I found 2 application for the iPhone/iPad/iPod Touch on the iTunes store.
The first App is called RjDj.
the application listens for ambient noise coming through the microphone which it then modifies and infuses into an automatically generated dynamic soundtrack. Each mode treats the audio differently, some tracks loop the input, while others distort it.
it has 3 modes that you can select from and each mode has down-loadable content from other users
1. Soundtrips - Take a trip into musical worlds where sounds from you or your environment are part of the music. Music doesn't get any more trippy than this.
2. Moovz - The crazy new freestyling sensation! Control the music by touching. holding and tilting then rap or sing over your unique mix - share your recording with friends
3. Interactive - All kinds of different interactive musical experiences brought to you by some of the craziest musical thinkers around
The second application is Inception the App
Inception the App pioneers a new form of Augmented Reality using sound. It synchronises an augmented layer of music over your life, matching it perfectly to your activities, time of day and location.

Augmented Reality
Scientists and researchers have managed to develop a new kind of technology that has left a very thin line between reality and the virtual world combining sound, smell, touch etc with graphics.
The application of computer-generated imagery in live-video streams as a way to enhance the perception of the real world.
Ronald Azuma offered a definition in 1997.
Azuma's definition says: Augmented Reality combines real and virtual and is interactive in real time and is registered in 3D.
Augmented Reality is found in modern smartphones that use a Camera, GPS, Accelerometer or a Solid State Compass.

One of the first commercial applications of Augmented Reality was the first down line indicated in yellow in televised football games.
