Augmented Reality Moon for Astronomy Lessons
Lincoln, James
Physics Teacher, v56 n7 p492-493 Oct 2018
Astro Reality's Lunar Pro is a highly detailed Moon model that allows users to learn historical and astronomical facts through an augmented reality app. But even just holding this 12-cm diameter Moon in your hand is already an engaging experience. The terrain details are to a very high resolution and were created authentically using Lunar Reconnaissance Orbiter data. In this article, I discuss how the Lunar Pro can go beyond its intended purpose as a desktop novelty or science toy and provide a few examples of how it can be used to enhance the instruction of several topics of astronomy.
