Introduction

Technology is bringing drastic changes in our day to day life and bringing new concepts from time to time.We are all aware of the role of the technology in our daily life. For instance, we pay our bills, we work, we book our movie and traveling tickets, we shop, we attend online courses, we work from home, we bank, we order and eat food etc etc. There are many apps serving, stimulating and saving our valuable time. In fact, we are completely addicted to this technology. In this context, I want to pose a question-

Are we providing technology-based education to our children?

'Technology will never replace great teachers, but technology in the hands of great teachers is always transformational.'

We are sure that education is evolving due to the impact of the latest techniques and internet. We cannot teach our students in the same procedure as we were taught. Definitely, change is necessary. This thought made me work on new technology that is Augmented Reality which is prevalent in entertainment field now it is also spreading its branches towards the educational sector. So I decided to provide my students with  "Real Education With Reality Techniques.”

Introducing  Reality techniques like 'Augmented Reality', 'Virtual Reality' and 'Mixed Reality', in education drastically improves the quality of education. Children can now experience with 3D objects which easily increases their interest and which helps them to assimilate their subjects quickly.

What is Augmented Reality?

Augmented Reality has been a hot topic in software development. To be clear it is the new way to render information and present it in a different approach so that all the virtual elements will become a part of the real world.

The basic idea behind introducing Augmented Reality in all fields is that it picks up all the necessary components of the digital world to the understanding of the real world. This latest technology is used to augment (improve) the natural environments and propose perceptually enriched experiences. AR will take you into a new world where the real world and virtual world have coalesced tightly. 

Augmented Reality is the technology that superimposes the images that are generated on a user's view of the real world, ultimately providing a view of multiple computer elements composited into one.

Augmented reality  apps are written in special 3D programs that allow the developer to tie animation or contextual digital information in the computer program to an augmented reality "marker" in the real world

Advantages :

v      Increases  Kids Imagination Skills. 

v   It increases the creative skills of the children.

v   Cognitive thinking will be increased.

v   It increases concentration  and motivation

What is Virtual Reality?

Virtual reality is an artificial environment that is created with software and presented to the user in such a way that the user suspends belief and accepts it as a real environment. 

What is Mixed Reality?

This is referred to as hybrid reality. This technology is nothing but the merging of real and virtual techniques and ultimately providing a new environment and visualizes where both physical and digital objects co-exist and interact in real time.

MR has found its way into a number of applications, evident in the arts and entertainment industries. However, MR is also branching out into the business, manufacturing and education worlds with systems like simulation-based learning, military training, education field, remote working, healthcare, aviation. Some of the display technologies include –

·         Cave Automatic Virtual Environment

·         Head-up display

·         Head-mounted display

·         Tablet PC

·         Computer display

·         Personal Digital Assistant

·         Mobile phones

·         PC etc.

Tools That We Are Using To Teach Our Children

• apps
• flashcards
• 3D videos
