Embodied Coding
This project explores how augmented reality can support human-centered, collaborative computing. We will create an Embodied Coding Environment for the creation of 3d assets and artwork. This platform is envisioned as a merged digital/physical workspace where spatial representations of code, the artwork that is the output of the code, and user editing activities are simultaneously located in a persistent mixed reality environment. Wearing AR headsets, learners will manipulate virtual code blocks to assemble programs and debug their code by evaluating the 3d representations that they create.
