Augmented reality is a digital interface where users have a virtual multiple sensory interactive experience using visual, auditory, touch and pressure stimulation to create a real-world environment. This is normally done using headsets, gloves and other wearable artefacts. Examples might include students having the ability to stand in the human heart while it pumps blood throughout the body.
Designers can add layers of data into the experience and users can manipulative elements within the environment in order to alter the outcome of the interactive simulations. Depending on how sophisticated the technology, augmented reality can display visuals over the real world, provide artificial audio feedback that’s not actually present in the environment, and give various types of feedback through a user’s different senses and body wearables giving the student the sensation that they are interacting in the augmented space.
