Here are a few key points about location-based augmented reality (AR) learning:
- It allows learning to extend beyond the traditional classroom by overlaying digital information on real-world locations. Students can learn while exploring their environment.
- Location-aware AR uses the device's GPS, compass and other sensors to trigger educational content when students visit physical places like museums, parks, historic sites, etc.
- Interactive overlays, 3D models, audio/video can be accessed to learn more about one's surroundings. This makes learning more engaging and memorable by connecting it to real places.
- Collaborative AR experiences are possible where multiple students visiting the same location can interact virtually. Field trips become more social.
