Abstract:
This paper is about the use of Augmented Reality (AR) in civil engineering classes at Federal Institute of Education, Science and Technology, Palmas, Brazil. It considers that AR is an expanding technology that is already used in some areas and can also be applied to education. AR can provide support for the teaching/learning process provided to the student through visualization and manipulation since learning improves when one sees what is being explained in a dynamic image. This kind of technology adds information and improves the current educational environment. This article proposes a solution with an application to assist teachers, more specifically concerning an undergraduate course in civil engineering.
