Description
Summary:Augmented reality is a technology that enables user to interact with 3D virtual object and real world in real time application. The use of Augmented Reality (AR) in education shows a potential to enhance traditional learning method. The purpose of this study is to observe the familiarity of AR application especially its implementation in learning environment, and to determine the usefulness of AR application in education. The study was conducted during Malaysia Technology Expo 2009 in small scale participants consists of students, teachers, and industrial people. The result showed that most of the participants never been experienced with AR application before, but the idea to implement AR for education are well accepted with a very positive feedback. Based on the findings, some issues and user expectation for further development of AR application in learning environment are being discussed.
