Augmented Reality in AG
Hi folks.
I am going to try to make parts of your Notes as interactive as possible.
To do this you need to download the Aurasma app on your smartphone/iPad. When you have this done go to page 10 in your Revision Aid book and scan the picture of the cow.
Otherwise you can use the pictures below.
See what happens!!!
Try the picture on sprouting potatoes on page 80 now.
