Improving the Quality of Learning for Practical Education Using Augmented Reality

Augmented reality (AR) is a technology that combines the virtual content generated by the computer with the world around us for better understanding. One way to increase the quality of teaching is to use the AR technology to transfer the practical knowledge in an appropriate way. In this paper, an experiment has been arranged to evaluate the impact of this technology on human learning. In this experiment, individuals are divided into two groups. The first group uses the traditional method and the second group employs the AR technology to learn making two boxes. Finally, each person is asked to make boxes without instructions. An assessment of making boxes indicates the positive impact of the AR technology on the learning process of individuals. The results show that persons who are trained in AR make the boxes faster and better than the other group. Moreover, for the second group the estimation of difficulty in making boxes is more accurate.
