Augmented reality (AR) combines the real world with virtual elements. A basic example is QR codes, which allow digital content to be accessed when a mobile device scans the code. AR can enhance learning and on-the-job training by providing interactive 3D animations or information that is accessed in real-time through triggers like photos or objects. While AR shows potential for education, it also faces challenges in working across different devices and reliance on learners having suitable AR-enabled technology.

2. Simplest example of Augmented Reality is
the QR Code.
Some digital content is placed in the QR
code which gets executed on placing the
mobile device in front of it.

3. For example: As a tourist you are passing through a street in the
city. Through the use of AR you can come to know the tourist
spots on that street and the information like opening time, closing
time, entry fees, history etc.
Augmented Reality(AR) is a combination of the real scene
or object viewed by the user and a virtual scene generated
by the computer that augments the scene with additional
information.

4.  Combination of real environment and virtual
environment.
 3 dimensional registration so that the virtual
scene is aligned to the real environment.
 Real Time Interactivity with the virtual scenes so
that they behave like a real scene in the real
environment.

5. AR can enable on the job performance support by adding
in on demand information to the real world situation like
fixing up a mechanical part or installation of a machine.
Need to assimilate information or remember information
can be reduced as it can be accessed on demand.
It can increase the learners engagement and retention of
learning concepts as AR tool is enhancing the learning
experience by either 3d or 2d animations and images.
It can add in a dimension of ubiquity to learning.

6.  Mobile Browser a level up on M-Learning
 Google Goggles-It is an image recognition mobile
app.
 AR Toolkit-A free distributed software C library
that was designed to easily develop Augmented
Reality applications

7.  Aurasma App
 An AR App which is developed for grades 6-12.
 This app allows the learners to create or view AR experiences
by pointing a mobile device at a “trigger” (a photo or object)
that has an “aura” (interactive experience featuring an
animation, video, or image) attached to it.
 It has more than 70000 users in 100 countries.
 It is available both for IPAD and Android Devices.
 It is an app which is free of cost.

9. Technology which is still in infancy stage
and not time tested.
Has to be designed for a variety of
devices operating on different
technologies and hence the cost and
time involved has to be factored in.
Relies on learners having the suitable
devices to access which are AR
enabled.
