4. What is Augmented Reality
 Embeds digital information into real-world contexts
 Closer to the real world
 Adds information and meaning to a real object or
place
 Real world is enhanced by computer-generated
content
 Blended experience.

5. Examples of Augmented Reality
Sixth Sense:
 Wearable gestural interface device by Pranav Mistry
 New interactions between the real world and the

10. Significance in Education
 Provides rich contextual learning for individuals learning
a skill.
 Students take control of their own learning.
 Appeals to multiple learning styles.
 Engages learner in ways that have never been possible
 No real consequences if mistakes are made during skill
training
 Shifts learners from passive to active learning modes.

11. Advantages of Augmented Reality
 Blurs the line between what's real and what's
computer-generated
 Information about the surrounding real world
becomes interactive and digitally manipulable
 Reality with more information added to it that is
normally not available

12. Disadvantages of Augmented Reality
 People are missing out on what's right in front of
them
 Lack of privacy
 Expensive to develop and maintain
