Abstract

<aside> <img src="/icons/pencil_gray.svg" alt="/icons/pencil_gray.svg" width="40px" /> This thesis explores the influence of augmented reality (AR) technology on education. By examining existing literature and conducting original research in classroom settings, the study aims to determine how AR can enhance learning experiences and outcomes. Key findings indicate that AR technology significantly improves student engagement and understanding of complex subjects. The study concludes with recommendations for integrating AR into educational curricula to optimize learning benefits.
