Dream rooms in AR: Students design their ultimate space!

What if you could design the room of your dreams? That’s exactly what my students explored using the AR Makr app for the first time! Inspired by If I Built a House by Chris Van Dusen, they let their imaginations run wild, creating their own ultimate spaces. Below is a model example.

As part of the creative process, students generated a range of ideas and visualised endless possibilities before bringing their chosen designs to life. Students selected images to create custom assets, edited them in Keynote with a ‘no fill’ background, and uploaded them to the camera roll. These assets were then placed into AR Makr, transforming their designs into immersive augmented reality scenes.

Some students took the creative process even further by screen recording their dream rooms and importing the footage into iMovie. There, they added titles, background music and sound effects to enhance their presentations.

This book was the perfect spark for creativity and the process gave students ownership over their ideas while learning the basics of AR design. It was an exciting first step into augmented reality and I’d love to hear how others introduce AR Makr to their learners!
