Augmented Reality Application

Augmented reality (AR) is an extension of extended reality that superimposes virtual images onto real world view. It has been implemented across a versatile range of fields including education, entertainment, military, and much more. Unlike virtual reality (VR), AR focuses on enhancing the real-world view and enriching people with a better way to display the learning content in an attractive way. AR provides content simulation and interaction which can display textual data in a more immersive way which can retain learner's concentration for longer periods of time. Technology has always helped people with disabilities. Mentally differently abled children require special attention right from their childhood. Many applications have analysed the challenges faced on a daily basis by the differently abled. Hence, AR-based learning would make their learning much more easier through the personalized and immersive platform. In the given context, this chapter analyses the use of AR in education and developed an AR-learning platform for mentally differently abled based on Unity3D and Vuforia.
