Q3. Augmented Reality (AR) is an emerging form of experience in which the Real World (RW) is enhanced by computer-generated content tied to specific locations and/or activities. Over the last several years, AR applications have become portable and widely available on mobile devices. AR is becoming visible in our audio-visual media (e.g., news, entertainment, sports) and is beginning to enter other aspects of our lives (e.g., e-commerce, travel, and marketing, education) in tangible and exciting ways. Facilitating ubiquitous learning, AR will give learners instant access to location specific information compiled and provided by numerous sources. Educators around the globe today have realized that AR/VR are big breakthroughs when it comes to learning â for a method as well as outcomes. AR has great potential in democratizing the educational process and making it a personalized learning experience for learners of all stripes. Simply put, augmented reality or AR is a multi-sensory interactive experience that involves real-world elements in a virtual environment. It is known to offer perceptually-enriched experiences to users by using real-world elements and adding a layer of information or visual aid on top of it in a natural manner. The most common examples of AR technology is seen in animated emojis these days on smartphones such as Apple iPhones, Samsung Galaxy series and more. In the industrial context, AR applications can help with on-the-go learning for maintenance and troubleshooting, systems maintenance work and other computer-aided learning and training. The primary reasons why AR is believed to be the future of learning and education include better learning retention, personalised learning experiences, increased possibilities of experimentation, reduced reliance on learning by rote, empowering educators and learners, encouraging active learning. Classrooms in the future will not look like they do today. AR will see a prominent push in the next 3 to 5 years in India, and most schools will have dedicated tools. Higher education will see faster adoption for AR tools, given that the technology is already present in such institutions.
