Augmented reality: a new tool for vocational training
Proven Augmented Reality teaching tools
Augmented reality in education is not a real novelty. Indeed, some middle school classes are already using augmented reality tools experimentally. It is above all a complement, especially to create a renewed interest of the students by letting them interact and experiment freely with the contents. Several solutions have already been tested and the findings are clear: the playful and innovative aspect irremediably captures the attention of users and provokes a better commitment on their part. This type of tool is mainly used for subjects such as technology, science and history.
Apple, in its communication campaign around its augmented reality platform ARkit, is also widely promoting these applications for learning. Several videos presenting content intended for the learning of the youngest are also highlighted on the official website of the Californian giant.
Whether in the wood or construction sectors, the observation of vocational training teachers is simple: the students had great difficulty mentally constructing a 3D representation of their study material. Indeed, as they usually work on prototypes, they must first conceptualize the study project before actually carrying it out.
This is where Urbasee and his augmented reality comes in. By giving the possibility to visualize the study project in 3D, the students create this mental representation for themselves. In front of them appears the project in augmented reality, reduced or real size depending on the need.
