Abstract
Abstract
Background: The integration of artificial intelligence (AI) with augmented reality (AR) has significantly revolutionized educational practices. By blending digital content with the physical environment, AR enhances student engagement, while AI-driven tools personalize learning experiences.
Objective: This article aims to explore the future of AI-powered AR in education, analyzing its potential to transform traditional learning environments by improving student interaction, knowledge retention, and personalized learning.
Methods: A comprehensive literature review was conducted, examining current AI-AR applications in educational settings. Additionally, case studies from early adopters of this technology in classrooms were analyzed. Interviews with educators and experts were conducted to gain insights into the challenges and opportunities associated with AI-enhanced AR.
Results: The findings indicate that AI-AR systems significantly enhance student engagement, promote interactive learning experiences, and offer personalized feedback based on individual learning styles. However, challenges such as high implementation costs, technical expertise requirements, and the need for curriculum alignment were identified.
Conclusion: AI-AR has the potential to reshape educational practices by fostering a more interactive, engaging, and tailored learning experience. Future efforts should focus on addressing the technical and pedagogical challenges to ensure successful adoption across various educational contexts.
