Abstract
Purpose: This study investigated the impact of augmented reality (AR) on mental well-being of young people in Hong Kong. Limited prior research exists on this topic.
Materials and methods: A cross-sectional survey of 150 young people recruited from a youth service center explored the relationship between frequency of participating in AR-related service, stress levels, and academic engagement.
Results: The findings revealed significant associations between frequency of AR use and both stress and academic engagement.
Discussion: The study concludes that AR technology holds promise as a tool for stress reduction and enhancing academic engagement in high-pressure educational environments.
Conclusion: These findings advocate for the strategic implementation of AR service in schools and youth service programs.
