I'm working on a "learn to code & play with robots" app and that uses the phone or tablet's camera to read in paper-printed emoji flash cards. It's like an AR version of Logo/Scratch/ScrathJr. The flashcards will then be used to move an AR-version of the classic Logo turtle around the floor or desktop.
Demo of the card reader prototype: https://youtu.be/dSOfMSS9aFY https://youtu.be/dSOfMSS9aFY
I got the idea for this as a First Lego League coach at my kids' school. I'm trying to come up a with a similar environment to FLL but without needing an 4x8 ft table and $500 Lego set. The hope is that the kids can try out ideas using the AR app at home, then implement them "for real" at school when they have access to the full tournament table and complete Lego sets. Yeah, a phone or tablet is required, but the demo runs well on $50 Android or Amazon Fire tablets.
