The future of Augmented Reality in Medical Learning Environments

Introduction

This blog discusses research into the user experience of Augmented Reality (AR) and it’s future uses in learning environments. AR is a rapidly progressing technology, with uses in the educational field. This ranges from use in lower educational classrooms, to simulations of surgeries in a medical setting. AR brings an interactive element to the learning environment, helping the students to visualise concepts and have a ‘hands-on’ education. AR also brings opportunities for inclusivity with varying accessibility needs, including those with learning difficulties or less-popular methods of learning. Augmented reality in an educational settings allows for immersive learning experiences, making teaching more fun and effective.
