Session description

It's an innovative project where students use augmented reality to bring classic and original stories to life. By blending English literature and philosophical concepts, they create immersive narratives that challenge perceptions of reality, encouraging deep thinking and creative exploration in a digital age.

Outline

Students will engage in creating and exploring narratives using the Halo AR app. The project starts with storytelling workshops, where students learn about different literary genres, narrative techniques, and philosophical themes. They then bring their stories to life by embedding elements such as characters, settings, and symbols into augmented reality. Interactive activities include philosophical discussions based on their AR stories and a collaborative storytelling exercise, where students contribute to a shared narrative, emphasizing diverse viewpoints and teamwork. Finally, participants showcase their AR-enhanced stories and reflect on how the use of augmented reality transforms their understanding of literature, philosophy, and reality itself.
