AUGMENTED REALITY

Augmented reality (AR) is a view of the real, physical world in which users find elements enhanced by computer-generated input. Designers create inputs ranging from sound to video, to graphics and more.

HOW CAN WE USE AUGMENTED REALITY IN EDUCATION?


- Adding extra data, e.g. a short biography of a person, fun facts, historical data about sites or events, visual 3D models and more would give students a wider understanding of topics.
While doing homework, students may scan a certain elements of a book and receive text, audio or video tips from teachers or they may find useful information about the course.

-AR technology has an ability to render objects that are hard to imagine and turn them into 3D models, thus making it easier to grasp the abstract and difficult content. AR technology is useful especially for visual learners.
