DinosARs - Learning with the help of augmented reality

Abstract

A two-dimensional way of interacting with learning material has been the norm fora long time. We’ve read books, taken notes and been taught from a blackboard sinceyouth, and has for most of us worked out just fine, but we are all different. We havethose visual learners, those who learn through seeing things, auditory learners, thosewho learn best through hearing and kinesthetic learners, those who learn by doing.Augmented reality can provide many unique affordances that can deliver a learningexperience that can benefit all learning types. Augmented reality can utilize both vi-suals, sound, and interactivity. It can also let the student take ownership of their ownlearning experience. This paper will provide an introduction to the technology, thedevelopment of an augmented reality application and testing it in real life situations.
