Enhanced interactive learning using augmented reality

Abstract

In the field of education [the need of combining learning with en I oyment can ne Itr be underestimat ed. In order to accomplish these goals leducational applications are widely being deLi:lopedespecially for smart phones. Most of these application s[howeLi:rrjJroude a total urtual en�ron ment.

Utilization of Augmented Reality Technology as an Interactive Learning Media

“…The application of AR technology has a very important role in education as a learning medium, this is because the learning process becomes interactive [12], the concept of learning material is easier to understand by students [13], learning using AR does not require a lot of money, is flexible, and easy to learn. In addition, learning using AR technology can support students to think critically and be easier to remember because the learning strategies applied are more attractive.…”

Augmented reality objects design in augmented story book mobile application for better engagement

“…They used Vuforia and Unity3D as tools for creating AR objects. Also, the other related work is about interactive learning using AR book conducted by Jawad, Habib, and Ali [10]. They used Vuforia as well for creating the AR objects needed.…”
