Abstract

Different technologies have been implemented in the educational sector to improve the method of teaching and learning. Augmented reality is one of the most trending technologies in the f ield of computer graphics and is used in different departments, especially in education as a smart learning environment. Augmented Reality (AR) technology has effective potential that enhances and replaces the old way of learning into a new digitized smart learning environment by converting the school books into a virtual 3D environment containing experiments and object having animation, which helps students extracting and absorbing complex concepts in less amount of time. AR is a computer vision-based technology that works by tracking the surrounding using a smartphone camera and then superimposing virtual 3D objects into the real world. Capabilities of Augmented Reality make classes more engaging, collaborative, and interactive. Studying may not be every student's cup of tea but with the help of smart learn- ing environment school lessons become much more interesting, interactive, and fun to learn. This research gives a brief insight that the interactive AR chem- istry application may lead the students to grasp diff icult concepts of chemistry more easily in an entertaining and engaging ways.

Highlights

  • Augmented Reality (AR) as an e-learning tool in an education system is a new approach (Berryman, 2012; Liarokapis, 2007)

  • This research paper studies the uses of AR in the education system

  • A complete syllabus can be converted into AR based experience which can transform the whole process of education into fun and entertainment with more interest and engagement from students

Summary

INTRODUCTION

Augmented Reality (AR) as an e-learning tool in an education system is a new approach (Berryman, 2012; Liarokapis, 2007). AR-Molecule is an Augmented Reality based educational application build for school students to make learning easy and to capture difficult concepts in an entertaining way. It will make things easy for the instructor to explain the difficult concepts in chemistry and at the same time make it easy for the students to understand and absorb the difficult concepts of chemistry. The AR-Molecule application converts the static 2D book image into a 3D animated experience with voice over features This enables students to understand and grasp the whole concept of the formation of molecule, compound, and execution of chemical reaction in an entertaining and engaging way. A complete syllabus can be converted into AR based experience which can transform the whole process of education into fun and entertainment with more interest and engagement from students
