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.

Was burial of the dead practiced by Neandertals or is it an innovation specific to our species? There are indications in favor of the first hypothesis but some scientists remain skeptical. However, a multi-disciplinary team led by researchers at the French National Centre for Scientific Research (CNRS) and the Musée national d histoire naturelle (France) and the University of the Basque Country (Spain) found new evidence.
In a recent study published on December 9 in the journal Scientific Reports, the researchers have demonstrated that a Neandertal child was buried, probably around 41,000 years ago, at the Ferrassie site (Dordogne).
