Abstract

This paper outlines a project aiming to increase accessibility to Augmented Reality (AR) technologies by mainstream developers, educators and students through the design and development of the Real Environments Augmented for Learning engine (REAL). REAL will integrate computer gaming, mobile devices, virtual reality and pedagogical techniques into a usable and effective AR platform for the delivery of authentic, immersive, mixed reality, e-learning experiences operating seamlessly with existing infrastructure for Internet and mobile communications. The outcomes will move AR technologies into the Web 2.0 realm of user-created content and provide superior realism and usability over existing methods for adoption in conventional e-learning curricula.
