Learning using Augmented Reality Visual Aid (LAVA)

Abstract

Augmented reality is fast emerging technology with potential to impact domains.at there fundamental level. By nature augmented reality keeps the fabric of real world space intact and integrate a layer of digital content to supplement it rather than replace as in the case of virtual reality. In the field of education the use of modern technology in most cases has brought improvement in the educational learning experience and the trend will continue to grow as there areas in the educational learning process that can be assisted with technologies such as augmented reality. .AR is currently being used in educational learning in different kind of experience reliant mostly on marker based AR experience and trying to provide educational aid in various forms. The analysis of educational learning process give insight that providing information using technology at the point of education learning in a way to remove the transition from real to virtual world space can bring improvement to whole experience. LAVA application was developed to evaluate the impact of AR based concept detection and content provision for improved visualization of concept information provision for a complete learning aid which has a built in knowledgebase and can retrieve information about concepts from web query.
