Healthy Living Day: Computing
WE ARE VR DESIGNERS
This term, in Year 5 computing, the children will turn into VR designers. Throughout the topic they will be experimenting with virtual reality (VR) and augmented reality (AR). Children will have to know the differences between each reality, virtual reality meaning representing the world convincingly in other media and augmented meaning superimposing a digital layer over a view of the real world. In this unit, they will look at key knowledge, skills and concepts which include, real world and imagined VR, creating 360-degree photospheres, linking physical objects to digital content using QR codes and finally be able to create their own VR scene, program the objects within it and interact with VR.
