Mobile augmented reality in nursing educational environments

Abstract

The possibility of using Augmented Reality (AR) in
learning and training has become more straightforward than
before, as a result of the extensive use of Information and
Communication Technologies (ICT) in the computer and mobile
industries. Even though AR is used in education, and it is generally
acknowledged that it has a positive impact on learning outcomes,
the value of integrating AR applications into learning
environments has not yet been fully investigated [1]. This in
progress work considers the integration of AR technology into
nursing clinical lab training, introduces new ways of interacting
with manikins, and allows students to view patient scenarios
instead of relying on teacher explanations. AR allows students to
visualize hidden objects such as internal organs, which makes
simulations more realistic and immersive. The study investigates
the potential of this technology in terms of enhancing nursing
students’ self-regulation skills.
