Augmented reality in education and training: pedagogical approaches and illustrative case studies

This paper explores the recent development and innovative uses of augmented reality (AR) in formal and informal education. Our research categorizes current AR technologies, introduces a review of relevant literature, and presents case studies illustrating AR implementation utilizing different pedagogical approaches. Based on current trends, the educational potential of AR tools and systems is discussed and factors impacting large-scale use in teaching and training are presented.
