USE OF AUGMENTED REALITY IN EDUCATION
Executive summary
The report aims at describing the benefits of implementing augmented reality technology in
the education system. The paper has described the need for augmented reality in the
education. Apart from this the augmented reality has great importance in the other industry
sectors. Augmented reality has provided a real-world object with the help of digitization. The
report aims to analyse all the benefits of using augmented reality. The disadvantages and
advantages of using the technology have outlined in the paper. The report will help the
university to make a proper decision regarding the implementation of augmented reality in
their education system.

1.0 Introduction
The aim of this report is to provide a clear knowledge about the benefits of having
augmented reality in the university. This will definitely improve the way of teaching. In
order to improve the teaching procedure implementing augmented reality is a better idea. The
report will describe the needs of implementing augmented reality in the XYZU institute. This
enhances the way of learning by improving speed. With the augmented reality the student
got more involved and motivated as a learner and this increases the efficiency of the student.
Moreover, teachers can focus on learning materials throughout the learning process (Gilligan,
2018). The learning material gets interesting with time and as the material becomes
interesting it attracts more attention of the student. Thus it becomes essential for the institute
to understand the benefits of using AR. The report will help to understand the reasons behind
implementing AR. With the implementation of Augmented Reality the user can enhance the
real world’s view. The use of augmented reality will increase the number of customers. The
report aims at delivering the reasons behind implementing augmented reality in the
education. The benefits of augmented reality will be described in the report so that the
university can implement proper measures in the learning process.
2.0 About augmented reality
Augmented reality provides an interactive experience towards the real world objects.
The main importance of having an augmented reality is to bring components of the digital
world into a perception of the real world. This helps in enhancing the natural environments
and offers an enriched experience. The advanced AR technology helps in providing
information regarding the real world and allows the user to become interactive and effective
digitally. Augmented reality possesses a great capability that helps in sharing and gathering
important knowledge. The main hardware components of augmented reality include sensors,
processor, input devices and display. In order to have a proper augmented reality platform it
becomes important to contain some specific elements including camera and MEMS sensors.
The sensors include GPS, solid-state compass and accelerometer. Basically there are two
technologies that are the diffractive waveguides and reflective waveguide (Garrett, Anthony
& Jackson, 2018). The main difference between augmented reality and virtual reality is that it
enhances the live view by adding digital elements. Augmented reality developed over the
years after the arrival of Android and iOS. This turned out to achieve more importance in the
market. This helps in combining the virtual reality with the real world environment in order
