Enhancing Perspectives with AR

    Ar, short for Augmented Reality, is the technology of incorporating apps and useful tools into our daily lives, to our vision, to be specific. It is still a raw technology potential of which is waiting to be discovered in the future. Google Glass was one of the first and perhaps one of the most important AR inventions, but to be blunt, it has failed and still yet to be refined to be a catch in the market. Currently, the way ARs are used is usually through QR codes. Here is an example from Arize

    Simply open a QR reader from a smartphone and it will give you a link in which you will be able to see the chair in 3D and rotate. QR codes such as these can be put in books or in real life places to save students from monotone lessons. Creating QR codes are as easy as they get, there are numerous amounts of websites in which you can generate the codes for free. My personal favourite is QRCode Monkey for its simplistic layout, ease of use and wide variety of options to customize QR codes to your likings.

    Pokémon GO is by far the most successful product in the market that utilizes augmented reality. Another video game soon to be released that makes use of this technology is named Witcher: Monster slayer. What makes these games so attractive is that they make the players feel excited by letting them interact with technology, but through real life. The same way these games arouse excitement can be implemented to lessons. By creating QR codes and letting students venture for the knowledge on their own is a very stimulating experience, which will only evolve as the time goes on.
