Abstract

The rapid advancement of technology has paved the way for innovative teaching and learning methods, with augmented reality (AR) emerging as a transformative tool in education and training. This paper explores the applications of AR in these domains, highlighting its potential to enhance the learning experience and facilitate practical skill development. AR technology overlays digital information onto the real world, enabling interactive and immersive educational content. By integrating AR into educational platforms, learners can engage with complex concepts through hands-on, interactive experiences. In training, AR offers realistic simulations that replicate real-world scenarios, thereby providing a safe and controlled environment for skill acquisition and practice. This paper examines case studies and existing literature to illustrate the benefits of AR in education and training, including improved engagement, retention of information, and practical skill mastery. It concludes that while AR presents significant opportunities, it also poses challenges in terms of implementation and the need for teacher training and support.
