Creating the Core Components of an Astronomy Lab in AR

Abstract

Augmented Reality technology has developed tremendously in recent years, with some efforts being made to create educational content. The power of AR to visualize difficult concepts while maintaining an individual’s ability to interact with their surroundings and environment has tremendous potential to be incorporated into classrooms and lab. The goals of this project were to create the software for one such lab and lay the foundation for the creation and testing of future AR labs.
