Augmented Reality Overview

Why AR?

AR enhances how students relate to, contextualize, and interact with the world around them. So learning becomes virtually limitless.

Movement

Activate student engagement through movement and physical exploration.

Scale and Proximity

Provide opportunities to see objects that are life‑size and lifelike, and from different perspectives that are often otherwise not possible.

Context

Connect learning to the real world by enabling students to visualize abstract concepts in the context of their own surroundings.

Interactivity

Create interactive experiences where virtual objects respond to real‑world actions, and real‑world objects can trigger virtual experiences.
