GeoAR - An Augmented Reality Application to Learn Geography
Journal Title: Revista Romana de Interactiune Om-Calculator - Year 2018, Vol 11, Issue 2
Abstract
Over the last years, augmented reality was used in various domains, from medical, industrial design, modeling and production, robot teleoperation, military, entertainment, leisure activities to translation, facial recognition, assistance while driving, interior and exterior design, virtual friends, Internet of Things and eLearning. In eLearning, the combination between classical and augmented content (the later coming with 3D models, images, sounds, animations, Internet browsing, etc.) can help the teacher to better explain the content of the courses. GeoAR application was created with the purpose to learn more things about the geography of Europe (countries, capitals, flags and neighbors) in a different and more attractive way. We know that new technologies draw children’s attention, and that’s why we used the Augmented Reality feature in developing our application. Using GeoAR, children can play a game and learn at the same time. Thus, learning geography becomes more interesting and exceeds the traditional way.
