Applications of Augmented Reality to Provide Quality Education: A Survey

Abstract

Abstract: Traditional methods of learning such as reading books and copying texts is becoming a thing of the past. Everything is becoming increasingly digitized and is being driven by technology innovations. Bringing new learning formats based on technology in the classrooms can lead to increased student engagement which in turn will make the knowledge and skills stay longer. Thus, adapting technological solutions to education is very important. Augmented Reality (AR) is an enhanced version of the real world which is achieved using digital visual elements, audio and other sensory stimuli. This is a growing technology. Since it provides many powerful visualizations, AR can be used as a powerful learning tool. This paper will provide an overview of AR and the hardware required for AR application and some of the AR techniques required to successfully overlay virtual contents over the real-world objects. Further, it explains the importance of AR in education and evaluate the impact of AR in education through various works
