This week we looked at HP Reveal in EdTech 564. This app seemed to work best when the trigger image simply triggered one event, like show a short video. I was excited to try and design a educational activity. I started out with something that I thought would be easy show some images and then link to a YouTube video. When I showed my son, he was not impressed with the linkage to the YouTube video of Lawrence O'donnell explaining Standing Rock. He showed me that Supaman had sampled the O'donnell clip an put it to music. If I played the music from Supaman, I had to increase the number of pictures I was showing. This was problematic in that it was difficult to set the timing the way I wanted because the preview feature would only start at the beginning. Previously to having Supaman's music track I had used the song "Water is Life" by Matene Strikes First. I suppose I could have stuck to my original design and uploaded the Lawrence O'donnel clip as a video and that might have been nicer.
The second application of the software I tried was a musical exploration of an Orchestra. The idea was to have the user tap on an instrument and the instrument play a couple of notes. There seems to be a limitation to the software here as it only plays the first time the user taps the image. To add more limitations, it only works on two pictures and then will not work on any subsequent images.
To see my work, download HP Reveal and follow the user joanrunsthrough. Point the HP Reveal camera at one of the following images:
