Augmented reality is the process of overlaying digital information over the real world by viewing through a device such as a mobile phone, iPad, or a desktop webcam. It has been very popular in the advertising world but there is little known as to its benefits in education. | Augmented reality is the process of overlaying digital information over the real world by viewing through a device such as a mobile phone, iPad, or a desktop webcam.

Photogrammetry methods is based on techniques that allows the capability to capture fine detail that approaches the realm of microscopy in some instances. To fully capture a specimen in high detail 40+ images and a 360° degree rotation of the specimen is required in order to create a mesh. | Photogrammetry methods is based on techniques that allows the capability to capture fine detail that approaches the realm of microscopy in some instances.

3D imaging of biocollections in the scientific community has largely been associated with expensive microCT Scans (digimorph.org) which is created by slicing an object based on material density measured by X-ray transmissions. Although this can provide scientists with important measureable information about structure and morphologies they do not retain color and external texturing which is needed in taxonomy and | 3D imaging of biocollections in the scientific community has largely been associated with expensive microCT Scans (digimorph.org) which is created by slicing an object based on material density measured by X-ray transmissions.
