Mary Kay Lofurno, Director of Marketing at SyberWorks, states, “In Part 5 of this series, Dave Powell talks about using ‘Augmented Reality,’ a mix of web-cam feeds with computer-generated images, UI elements, and text streaming video content that allows students to explore in online training courses. The article can be found in the SyberWorks Online Media Center at http://www.syberworks.com/articles/documentation-and-elearning-part5-article.htm.

“He sites examples such as an R&D video by BMW that teaches car repair or Homeland Security’s firefighting application that trains first responders but does not expose them to risk.
