Abstract

Utilization and implementation of modern technology have become a necessity in various domains of society for proper and updated growth in that particular sector. Children are most influenced by this wake of modern technology in their daily life. This paper aims towards investigating the amount of interest generated among children through their present academic course curriculum and proposal of a design training module for children. The module would essentially deal with the comprehensive representation of educational information through AR. The advantageous aspects and challenges of using AR in the education sector, were tallied by conducting a survey among children and their parents using module prototype and questionnaire. An in-depth analysis of the subject matter was done about proper utilization and implementation of the proposed aspect. Augmented Reality (AR) being an advanced technology for a big chunk of the masses, especially children, could prove to be an interesting element to Indian education scenario. The study ventures through the possible future scope of the module into generating cognitive impartment of knowledge while also introducing fun and engagement into study materials through Augmented Reality.
