This week we had our asynchronous class in which Dr.Fariza asked us to watch a video on Augmented Reality (AR). Honestly, I have heard a lot about AR since the past 3 years but I only knew about it briefly and not in detailed. So, I was very excited when we were asked to watch the video on AR as I would like to know and explore more on what is exactly Augmented Reality (AR).
So, what is Augmented Reality or AR? Augmented reality (AR) is a technologically augmented version of the real world that is created through the use of digital visual elements, sounds, or other sensory stimulation. To put it simply, AR (Augmented Reality) is a technology that extends our physical world by layering digital data on top of it. Unlike Virtual Reality (VR), Augmented Reality (AR) does not develop entire artificial environments to replace actual ones with virtual ones. This means that AR uses a real-world setting while VR is completely virtual. One of the most notable example of AR is Pokemon Go game which we could see as if the Pokemon exist in the real world but through the lens of smartphones. In the context of education, AR does provide a lot of benefits. By delivering a visual and interactive learning experience, it enables for a better grasp of an otherwise complex topic. Consider how much easier it will be for educators to go paperless when AR is implemented in the classroom. It makes our jobs as educators easier because we won't have to bring as many teaching materials to class. Besides that, AR also improve the learning experiences as the activities that integrated with AR often interactive and as a result could engage the students' participation in learning as well as increases their motivation. Thus, I believe that the usage of AR in the classroom offers various benefits especially to the future generation students as they would be more advance and require an advance and updated way of learning. Yours truly, Humairaa
