Have you ever imagined what would happen if a drawing in a book suddenly came to life
Or if a historical scene appeared before you
Atoms of science began to spin in your hands
AR-based learning apps are quietly doing just that without the noise without the drama lines of TV’s future technology.
AR stands for Augmented Reality.
The name sounds a bit heavy but the task is quite simple
adding an extra layer to the real world on a mobile screen.
For example open the camera show a table and suddenly the solar system is rotating on that table.
It feels a bit magical really.
The most interesting thing is that AR learning apps transform boring books into something interesting.
A child is looking at a picture of a bird in a book and scans it with their phone and the same bird appears in 3D. Otherwise it’s so difficult to explain This is how its wings move this is how its beak works.
Now the child can turn it around and see for themselves.
Once a cousin of mine showed me an AR app.
There was a diagram of the heart in the Biology chapter.
I scanned it and the heart was literally beating in 3D.
Valves were opening and closing blood flow was visible.
I honestly just stared at the screen for a second.
Then I realized that learning can be interesting you just need to change the method.
Some solid benefits of AR learning apps
- Visual memory is strong.
In the classroom the teacher keeps talking but the mind doesn’t remember everything.
In AR things move right before our eyes.
That’s why concepts stick in the mind.
- Hard topics become easy.
Refraction in Physics Cell Structure in Biology Geometry in Math
If you can see all this in 3D half your headache is gone.
- Practical experience without large machines.
The feel of the lab is experienced at home.
Beakers organs planetary systems all in one phone.
- Attention automatically increases.
The student doesn’t have to be told Son study
They explore on their own.
Curiosity is activated.
The app works simply
Opened the app
Scanned a book or printed marker
The AR model popped up
Zoom rotate explore
Audio explanations are also available
Take notes and that’s it.
One more small advantage
AR-based apps reduce distractions.
Children normally settle for games on their phones
but AR learning feels just like a game only with a heavier learning focus.
This system is also being increasingly used in small schools and tuition centers because the cost doesn’t seem overwhelming.
Just a smartphone and an app and teaching can be upgraded.
A relief for teachers too easy to explain quick demos and less imagination required.
Yes there are challenges.
Not every phone supports AR.
Lag is common if the network is slow.
Still the benefits far outweigh these minor issues.
Finally one thing
AR-based learning apps transform studying from a compulsion into fun.
The same daily chapters seem completely new.
The child learns on their own understands by observing.
And this is real learning when a person explores on their own.
