The Implications of Augmented Reality in Education
⋮ 1/23/2024
Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that enhances the real world by overlaying digital information,
such as images, sounds, videos, 3d models or text through a camera of smart device. AR can help us to
create immersive and interactive experiences that can enrich the learning process and functionality for
university students. In this blog post, we will explore some of the uses of Augmented Reality in education,
specifically in universities, and how Immersive Studio can help you implement AR solutions for your
educational needs to help to innovate your university campus or curriculum.
AR in Education: Benefits for Universities
AR has the potential to transform the way universities learn and teach, by providing a rich and dynamic
learning environment that can cater to different learning styles, preferences, and abilities. Below we
explore some of the key benefits of Augmented Reality in education:
Enhanced engagement and motivation: AR can make learning more fun and exciting, by adding
an element of gamification, interactivity, and personalization. By bringing content off the page and
allowing students to actually explore environments or topics they are learning about, overlayed with
digital information which the students can interact with to find out more, allows content to be taught
in a more meaningful and memorable way, with students motivated to explore and discover new
things using devices they are familiar with.

Improved understanding and retention: AR can help university students visualize complex
concepts, processes and scenarios, by providing them with a layer of digital information overlaid
ontop of a in a real world environment. Imagine students being guided through the use of complex
piece of medical equipment or visualising a new piece of technology, where they can explore the
machine in detail as if they were actually looking at it. Students can also manipulate and control the
AR content, and receive immediate feedback, guidance and rewards, which can enhance their
understanding and retention of the information.
Increased collaboration and communication: AR can facilitate social and collaborative learning,
by allowing students to share and exchange their AR experiences with others or gain rewards in
the form of easter eggs for finding the correct answers to complex problem. Students can also work
together on AR projects and develop their communication and teamwork skills which can extend
past the school day and become part of their homework.
Expanded access and inclusion: AR can provide access to learning resources and opportunities
that may not be available otherwise, such as virtual field trips, simulations, and experiments, and
wayfinding. AR can also support inclusive learning, by adapting to the needs and preferences of
each student and providing them with customized and accessible AR content.

Immersive Studio: Your Partner for AR in Education
Immersive Studio is a company that specializes in creating and delivering AR solutions across various
sectors, including education. We have a team of experts who can help you design, develop, and
implement AR experiences across any platform that are tailored to your educational goals and needs.
Some of the AR solutions that we can offer for universities are:
Large format media walls: We can create interactive content for large format media walls in the
form of both educational content or information walls to inform students and guide them to further
information, for example a health and wellbeing wall that students can interact with guiding them to
the relevant information they need. These large format media walls enable access to a large
number of students rather that just a few and content can either be static or interactive enabling
students to tailor their learning experience. The content can be customized and updated according
to the university’s vision and values, as well as students’ feedback and preferences and can also
take in live camera data and represent this with digital overlays to communicate with the students in
more engaging and exciting ways.
Immersive rooms: Enhance the learning experience with an immersive room, with projection
mapping and interactivity, where the students can experience static or interactive content in a 360-
degree environment. The content can range from educational topics, such as history, geography,
and science, to recreational topics, such as art, music, and sports.
Wayfinding apps: Wayfinding apps are another use of AR technology that can help the students
navigate a new area, such as the university campus, using AR markers and directions. The apps

can also provide more information about the facilities, services, and events on the campus, and
allow the students to interact with them.
Interactive apps: We can create interactive apps for specific topics, such as math, physics, and
biology, history where the students can use their tablet computers or phones to display either static
or interactive content from handheld devices to build on information on screens/worksheets. The
apps can help the students tackle more complex or abstract topics, with 3D or 2D informational
overlays or 360 content, allowing them to explore a particular environment or object and be guided
through the key information. The apps can also use object or text recognition, to provide further
educational information when pointed at a particular place or object.
