Abstract: Augmented Reality (AR) is an emerging form of experience in which the Real World (RW) is enhanced by computer-generated content tied to specific locations and/or activities. Over the last several years, AR applications have become portable and widely available on mobile de- vices. AR is becoming visible in our audio-visual media (e.g., news, entertainment, sports) and is beginning to enter other aspects of our lives (e.g., e-commerce, travel, marketing) in tangible and exciting ways. Facilitating ubiquitous learning, AR will give learners instant access to location- specific information compiled and provided by numerous sources (2009). Both the 2010 and 2011 Horizon Reports predict that AR will soon see widespread use on US college campuses. In prepa- ration, this paper offers an overview of AR, examines recent AR developments, explores the impact of AR on society, and evaluates the implications of AR for learning and education.

Collaborative augmented reality
Mark Billinghurst,Hirokazu Kato +1 more
TL;DR: Blending reality and virtuality, these interfaces let users see each other, along with virtual objects, allowing communication behaviors much more like face-to-face than like screen-based collaboration.
“Making it real”: exploring the potential of augmented reality for teaching primary school science
TL;DR: Analysis of teacher–child dialogue in a comparative study between use of an AR virtual mirror interface and more traditional science teaching methods for 10-year-old children revealed that the children using AR were less engaged than those using traditional resources.
The MagicBook: a transitional AR interface
TL;DR: The MagicBook is a Mixed Reality interface that uses a real book to seamlessly transport users between Reality and Virtuality, allowing multiple users to experience the same virtual environment either from an egocentric or an exocentric perspective.
