What is Augmented Reality?
Copyright © 2020
Augmented reality (AR) involves overlaying visual, auditory, or other sensory information onto the world in order to enhance one’s experience.
Retailers and other companies can use augmented reality to promote products or services, launch novel marketing campaigns, and collect unique user data.

Uses of AR in Education:
-
Augmented reality animated content in classroom lessons could catch students’ attention in our dynamic day and age, as well as motivate them to study.
-
AR technology has the ability to render objects that are hard to imagine and turn them into 3D models, thus making it easier to grasp the abstract and difficult content.
-
By incorporating Augmented Reality into lessons teachers are able to involve students in the process with 3-dimensional models.
-
Visitors of museums could access AR via smartphones and discover historical content related to objects.
-
Manual training, hand exercises, quiz solving etc. help earn a better knowledge of any lesson.

In the Pantomime Bug Farm world, your devices are pursued by predatory bugs. You can evade them by moving, keep them at bay by throwing balls, shove them, squash them against the table under your mobile device, fling them off it with a paddle swing, attract them with bait balls, and feed them other insects until they’re huge.
