Extended reality technologies - mixed, augmented, virtual reality, and future related technologies - are rapidly expanding in many fields, with underexplored potentials for multimodal composition and digital storytelling.

In this seminar, Kathy will share new knowledge about the novel wearable technology, smart glasses, to support elementary students’ multimodal and digital authoring with 3D virtual objects or holograms. She will discuss how smart glasses support students’ digital storytelling, and relatedly, the new modal resources available to students wearing smart glasses to compose 3D stories.


This event will be particularly useful for researchers, teachers and students.

Please note this is a hybrid event and can be joined either in-person or online.
