Augmented

and Virtual
Reality
Augmented
Reality?
Literally Augmented Reality means
“augment your reality”, a.k.a the real world
with extra layers of digital information
projected into it, as AR combines
the physical world with computer-
generated virtual elements overlay. These
2D or 3D virtual content are projected in
reality within people’s field of view
(through smartphone
camera or smartglasses), with the intent to
make the physical and virtual world
recognize each other & interact together
with the help of computer vision and
machine learning.
Augmented reality is
a technology that
overlays digital
features onto the
real world.
Examples of AR technology
 Snapchat & Instagram filters
Probably the most popular example of AR in everyday life are the filters used by social
media apps.
These include everything from illustrated flower crowns or retro picture filters to
“beautifying” filters.

The user´s face is detected with the help of AI. After that, the filter is digitally overlaid on
the face. Thanks to AR and AI, these filters can look very real.

 Pokémon Go
Pokémon Go, the mobile game that took the world by storm in 2016 and grossed more than
$6 billion in revenue by 2020, is a prime example of AR.

The game combines digital technology with physical involvement – the players catch
cartoon characters virtually present in real-life surroundings.
Maintenance assistance
AR equipped maintenance solutions that aid users can be very helpful while troubleshooting.

They are also a great help to beginner technicians with limited knowledge about the equipment
they are servicing.

Apps like this are often used in the manufacturing, automotive or field service industry.

Interior decoration apps

When you want to remodel your home, you don´t need to go and buy new furniture.

Instead, you can try it out in one of the many interior decoration apps that allow you to virtually
impose a picture over your surroundings so that you can try out if the new piece of furniture would
fit.

The furniture retailer IKEA has gone even further and created IKEA Studio – an app that uses the
iPhone´s LiDAR sensor to capture 3D plans of your home so that you can virtually redesign it.

It is currently in beta, but it was built in preparation for the arrival of Apple Glass, so we know that
we can expect an even more immersive AR experience in the future.
Example of AR
 What is the Role of
Augmented Reality in the
Classroom?
Augmented reality is an interactive technology that overlays
digital features onto the real world. You’ve probably come
across examples of augmented reality in your day-to-day life,
such as virtually trying on clothing & accessories or using
interactive elements of online games, but how does it work?
AR brings models and topics to life.
Students can overcome the limitations
of learning with simple 2D images or
diagrams, and can instead observe,
explore and manipulate 3D models
that are linked to the topic. Improving
the visual impact of these resources
can improve student understanding
while bringing new dimensions to
learning opportunities.”- Educational

Why Use Augmented
Reality in Education?
Augmented reality benefits
education by helping teachers
provide engaging multi-sensory
learning experiences that improve
student interaction and knowledge
retention – all while providing
access to endless content and
resources. These advantages of
augmented reality in education are
enabling educators to transform
teaching and learning, and AR is
used by thousands of schools
every single day.
What is
Virtual
Reality?
Virtual Reality (VR) is a computer-
generated simulation of an alternate
world that completely immerse the
viewer onto an artificial environment,
offering a synthetic experience with no
sense of the real world. It requires
specific sensory equipment, headsets
and gloves, and interactions within this
alternate reality are digital and not
responsive to the real world (excluding
hands tracking system that recognize
your hands and their movements in this
alternate world).
 How Can Virtual Reality Help
Students?
Virtual reality lets students learn through
experience. Using virtual and augmented
reality as immersive learning tools,
students can travel the world, explore the
impossible, delve deep into complex
concepts and experience learning directly
in the palm of their hand – all from a safe,
secure and familiar environment: the
classroom!
What are the Advantages of Virtual
Reality in Education?
• Increase memory power and knowledge retention
• Boost excitement and engagement in the classroom

• Improve learning outcomes

• Focus student attention on the lesson

• Open up new opportunities and create accessibility for every student

• Improve understanding of complex, conceptual subjects

• Build emotional intelligence, awareness and understanding

• Improve communication and collaboration skills
 How Does Virtual Reality Help in
Education?
So, in summary virtual reality helps education by
creating immersive lessons that are engaging,
memorable and impactful for students. These VR
experiences improve learning outcomes and help
students build important interpersonal skills such as
empathy, collaboration, and social skills needed for
the future. Virtual reality is a hugely powerful
teaching tool and the future of education!

Why VR is so
effective for
learning?
 Virtual reality (VR)
presentations have proven to
be more than just novel
visual aids for education.
They’re powerful learning
tools. Research shows that
retention rates rise when
students or job trainees use
virtual reality to immerse
themselves in a lesson or
scenario.
