Augmented Reality In Education : Innumerable Possibilities
Sivakarthikeyan Velayutham, CEO and Founder, HappyMongo
October, 2017


In today's rapidly changing civilization where everyone needs quick and instant solution to all their needs, education and the methods to acquire the same have advanced too. The traditional method of classroom teaching has taken a new dimension in the form of smart classes through computers and many other electronic devices. Currently, the only thing that matters in learning innovation is the infrastructure and the individual's ability to access these various technologies.

One such advancement is in the line of Augmented Reality (AR). Though not a new concept, it was primarily gaining thrust in the field of medical education as it offered real-time training in both theoretical and practical sense. Convenience and realistic exposure of this technology has slowly made its way into other fields like children education, training, entertainment, etc.

What Is Augmented Reality?

It is a technology that is supplemented by a computer-generated image on a user's view of the real world by integrating digital information and media, such as 3D models and videos. In other words it means Augmented Reality turns the surrounding around you into a digital interface by placing virtual entities in the real world. 

For example, imagine an ancient historical place like Ajanta and Ellora caves being recreated in a 3D environment and making it possible for a child to walk through it as a true surround environment without leaving the classroom he/she is sitting in? Wow!!! Wouldn't it excite the children and kindle their curiosity to learn more. Now this is what the AR technology has to offer; a real-time experience through animation.

AR Technology in Education & Training

Practical Exposure

AR technology can help balance the theoretical education attained by offering practical experience through rich computer-generated multi-dimensional content which will enable the students to trust the source to be a reliabletechnique and encourage them to take control of their learning process.

Need Not Fear Experimenting; As There Are No Real Consequences

AR technology offers a favourable learning environment, where students can apply their knowledge to come up with innovative ideas/solutions and not worry about the result. It is most helpful when the student needs to be trained to work in a dangerous and hazardous situation. This makes the learning process more stimulating and engaging for students.

Benefits of AR in The Education Sector

Recent research on AR technology has proven to make the learning/training environment more productive, attractive, enjoyable, and interactivethan ever before.

Visualisation of Concepts

Data visualisation exposes blueprints, inclinations and correlations that might go undetected in text-based data. AR helps in creating visual context that helps students understand the concepts better.

Interactive

AR offers an interactive medium, where data is presented though visual, verbal, auditory, and tactile learning styles. It helps young children enhance their language, general knowledge, cognitive and soft skills. Many studies suggest that children who use educational computer software are often found using more complex speech patterns, higher levels of verbal communicationand also change their attitudes about learning. This is a great boon, especially for children with lower learning abilities.

Increase Attention Span

Irrespective of age or intelligent quotient, AR has the power to engage a learner through various interactive methods and rich content in the form of multi-dimensional environments/models.
