Augmented reality objects - April family make it club

During our April Family make it club families will have the opportunity to learn about augmented reality and to create an animation that comes to life on a real object using a mobile device!

Families of up to four can work together to design and animate a character which will then import into Adobe Aero on The Edge iPads to virtually anchor these characters in the real world. During the 4 hours you and the family will learn all the skills you need to make your own digital treasure hunt game at home or with friends.
