Augmented Reality in Education: Transforming Learning Experiences
Abstract
Augmented reality (AR) is reshaping education by offering immersive and interactive learning experiences. This paper explores the significance of AR in education, emphasizing its role in enhancing engagement, visualization, and knowledge retention. It delves into various aspects, including AR applications, augmented textbooks, and virtual field trips. The discussion includes the benefits of incorporating AR into education, such as personalized learning, real-world simulations, and accessibility improvements. Moreover, the paper addresses the challenges and integration considerations in implementing AR in educational settings, including content development and technology infrastructure. Through a review of AR in education research and projects, the study highlights the transformative potential of AR in shaping the future of learning.
