Trinity College releases AR game to encourage multilingualism in schools
Researchers from Trinity College Dublin and several European universities have launched an augmented reality game to teach primary school children the value of languages and help teachers to foster multilingualism.
Babelar is aimed at pupils aged 7-12 and requires children to work together on tablets in a collaborative multiplayer AR game to reach a common goal.
Players are required to draw on their language resources to help a little creature called Babel, who has lost all its language knowledge, and guide it on a linguistic journey through three AR worlds.
