Application of Augmented Reality to Interactive Learning Systems

Researchers and engineers are pulling graphics out of our television screen or computer display and integrating them into real-world environments. This new technology is called Augmented Reality. The goal of Augmented Reality is to create a system in which the user cannot tell the difference between the real world and the virtual augmentation of it. Augmented Reality (AR) allows educators and students to unlock or create layers of digital information on top of the physical world that can be viewed through an Android or iOS device. Here, we present an augmented reality learning system that enables users to experience an interactive flower garden with the assistance of interactive agents in the augmented picture. Learning deepens, not just through reading and listening, but also through creating and interacting. We overlay virtual flower garden over a physical book and offer a collaborative environment that allows a learner to interact with the agent. To evaluate the effectiveness of the proposed system, we implement it on a mobile device and enable users to experience the collaborative task with the animated character. Through evaluation, we hope to demonstrate that the interactive agent could be a promising technology for motivating users to engage in learning systems
