By using the developed AR application, students will be able to learn aboutdiverse science topics more efficiently and visually. The AR mobile application allows the userto project a 3D (3-Dimensional) AR model of science topics on a real-world surface (such as atable or a piece of paper). The users will be able to interact with the model as if it existed outsideof the mobile application using touch interfaces.
