- Abstract
Augmented Reality (AR) is an emerging form of experience in which the Real World (RW) is enhanced by computer-generated content tied to specific locations and/or activities. Over the last several years, AR applications have become portable and widely available on mobile de- vices. AR is becoming visible in our audio-visual media (e.g., news, entertainment, sports) and is beginning to enter other aspects of our lives (e.g., e-commerce, travel, marketing) in tangible and exciting ways. Facilitating ubiquitous learning, AR will give learners instant access to location- specific information compiled and provided by numerous sources (2009). Both the 2010 and 20ll Horizon Reports predict that AR will soon see widespread use on US college campuses. In preparation, this paper offers an overview ofAR, examines recent AR developments, explores the impact ofAR on society, and evaluates the implications ofAR for learning and education.
