By using the camera on a smartphone or other mobile device, augmented reality is capable of layering in different types of 3D computer information, whether it involves altering the setting, introducing avatars that can act as guides, virtual patients that accurately simulate real-world conditions, or virtual tools or equipment that can be manipulated and provide real time feedback. Detailed text, charts, and other graphic data can be dynamically linked to actual or virtual objects. This 3D interface creates a customized informational landscape, with interactive features that can greatly accelerate one's skills and understanding through an immersive and engaging experience. AR applications that can accurately simulate real-world procedures transform otherwise stale learning materials into a more practical and hands-on learning experience that will lead to greater information retention and skill acquisition.
