Abstract

This paper explores augmented reality as a set of technologies and processes to weave hypermedial content into printed publications thus fostering new educational practices. In particular this paper focuses on augmented reality as a bridge to extend traditional hypermediality to paper-based educational tools, analyzing a book recently released by the Italian publisher FakePress as a case study. The book addresses the concept of remix as a political and educational practice and is based on an extensive use of QR codes and fiduciary markers that act as triggers to retrieve and show additional content published by both authors and readers through an open CMS (Content Management System). The QR codes and the fiduciary markers work as gates to hypermedial remixes that extend the limits of traditional educational text books.
