Application of Augmented Reality in Educational Sector have seen a steep rise in the recent
few days. By inculcating Augmented Reality
in teaching-learning process, the basic understanding and perception of the
student changes. Consider a Directness of Kinder Garden wants to teach
"Elephant" to the kids. Rather than she showing the picture of the
elephant and describing it, it would be appreciable if the child visualizes the
3-dimensional view and movement of an elephant. This can readily be brought by Augmented Reality. Students just need to
simply possess a smart phone for AR-based education (Now-a-days kids are much
well versed in the functionalities of mobile phones than adults!) Nowadays a
number of book publishing companies are collaborating with Augmented Reality features. It is also
possible to make markers to introduce Augmented Reality in classroom. The marker images serve as a trigger to
display a 3-dimensional content over the surface. Some of the popular Augmented Reality apps which are available to
ease the teachers use Augmented Reality
to effectively demonstrate the lesson contents are Aurasma and Layar. Aurasma
and Layar, both work well on IOS as well as Android devices. Augmented Reality enabled home worksheets will
make children more engaging to finish their home works as they are captured by
3-dimensional visualization. There are huge number of resources developed by
Indian Society for Technical Education on developing Augmented Reality customized worksheets.
Very soon AugmentedReality is going to be students' horizon in the field of education!
