You'll find a lot on multimedia in the Making Videos page. However, there are plenty of other apps available that you can use with multimedia, and this section will introduce a few of them.
Augmented Reality apps
Augmented Reality is where you look at the world around you through your phone or device camera. Onto the vision of the world you'll see other information - it might be an arrow pointing down a road to help you get back to your car, or it may be a zombie digging its way out of the ground in front of you. An increasing number of these apps can really help you see the world in a very different way. This video will show you some of the ways that you can use augmented reality, both for work and pleasure.
