Augmented Reality Application for Solar System Learning: A Research in Progress

Abstract

This paper presents a research in progress of a mobile application development that features the use of Augmented Reality (AR). In recent times, the use of technology in education has gained much interest among researchers and practitioners. Augmented Reality (AR) is one of the technologies that has attracted most attention. The use of AR has been shown to produce positive improvement to both teachers and students in a learning environment. For students, the use of AR provides them with an immersive environment thus making their learning experience more enjoyable. AR based learning application may also help teachers in explaining complex topics such as the concept of solar system. Thus, this paper proposes a development of a mobile application to aid students in learning process with the help of AR. The development of this mobile application utilizes the solar system topic as a medium of proof of concept.
