Enhancing Engagement and Understanding in Education using Augmented Reality

Abstract

Traditional learning methods often struggle to engage students and help them comprehend complex or abstract concepts. These methods lack interactivity and real-world context and are typically static and limited, making it difficult for students to fully understand the concepts or gain comprehensive knowledge. Augmented reality (AR) technology offers a transformative solution to these limitations. By integrating the virtual objects into the real world, AR provides immersive and interactive experiences that enhance students’ understanding and engagement. AR allows students to visualize complex ideas in 3D, interact with virtual objects, and explore topics in a way that feels real and easy to understand. By linking virtual elements to objects in the physical world, AR helps students understand difficult topics in a practical, real-world context. The proposed application is an AR-based website to overcome the limitations faced by traditional learning methods and offer students a better understanding.
