Today, we live in a magical world of technology; smartphones, tablets and other digital devices that children start using at an early age are changing the way they learn, play and share. Traditional methods of education are becoming a thing of the past. They are becoming increasingly digitized, and being driven by technology innovations.

The onset of augmented reality is a game changer with the evolution that is no more just a fascinating concept we see in movies, instead this ground-breaking technology is very much real. AR helps reinvigorate the time between the child and the parent with the use of technology and also facilitates learning.

These days ‘Augmented Reality for Education’ is gaining immense popularity. With the use of augmented reality, you can instil self-learning skills at a very early stage of learning and development in your children right at home. Children are known to have a shorter attention span, primarily when being taught; with AR, since the learners can see, observe, and feel during the learning process, they can maintain much of their concentration and attention to the teacher.

AR has the power to inculcate the love for learning in them. They get the first-hand experience of engaging with a realistic and lifelike environment that tends to make them better learners for life. It lets the child develop a new interest or deep dive into their existing areas of interest through an interactive and immersive learning experience. The 3D nature of AR encourages children to work together in groups, it creates genuine cooperation and improves communication. It’s beneficial for teachers too. They can quickly create a fun learning environment. When learning becomes a delightful and captivating experience, children tend to retain most of the information that is presented to them. This can maximize the educational effectiveness which could prove very beneficial for them.

AR in education helps students achieve better results through visualization and full immersion in the subject matter. So, instead of reading theory about something, students can see it with their own eyes, in action. Augmented reality has the potential to replace paper textbooks, physical models, posters, and printed manuals. It offers portable and less expensive learning materials. As a result, education has become more accessible and mobile. It is part of a larger Extended Reality concept, which also includes VR technologies. Augmented reality enhances the real-world environment with text, sound effects, graphics, and multimedia. In other words, AR brings us an enriched version of our immediate surroundings by layering digital content on top of the graphic representation of the real world.
