E-learning system using Augmented Reality

Virtual reality replaces the existing world with a simulated one. Augmented reality is, however, in real time. The emerging field of Augmented Reality opens up avenues in numerous fields with education being no exception. Our paper proposes an e-learning system for three-dimensional geometry, which makes use of Augmented Reality to enable the user to comprehend the three-dimensional geometry concepts faster and better. It facilitates the students understanding of three-dimensional geometry, which can be difficult when attempting to do the same in two-dimensional space. Based on the marker, the system generates the three-dimensional object and blends it in the real world footage. The system allows the user to manipulate the object through virtual buttons, while also allowing him/her to access the object's properties. Furthermore, the system provides interactive videos to aid the users understanding as well as a quiz by which the user can assess his/her knowledge of the three-dimensional concepts.
