The Classroom of the Future : Enhancing Education through Augmented Reality

Electronic classrooms offer instructors a variety of multimedia presentation tools such as the VCR, document camera, and computer projection, allowing for the display of video clips, transparencies, and computer generated simulations and animations. Unfortunately, even the most elegant user interfaces still frustrate many would-be users. The technology tends to be underutilized because of the cognitive effort and time its use requires. Worse still, it often distracts the instructor from the primary pedagogical task.
