AR in Education

Abstract

This chapter provides a critical pathway for the uses of augmented reality (AR) in a variety of different situations. The chapter starts with an introduction to AR and then explores how these concepts can be perceived to support not just learning, but also industry. Through this journey, the reader will explore aspects like how AR can be used to support and develop individual behaviors, strategies, and what difficulties are fraught when thinking about implementing AR in education and aspects of industry (engineering, medical science, libraries) and what benefits they can have. Finally, the chapter critically analyses possible future directions AR and how this can improve retention within higher education.
