Three applications of augmented reality technologies in structural engineering education (2018)
Journal Article
Whittleston, G., Haynes, B., & Mardan, A. (2018). Three applications of augmented reality technologies in structural engineering education

In technology terms, a real environment or personal space that is altered with digital media, such as images, is termed Augmented Reality (A.R.). From 2020 onwards, the next big thing in the technology sector will be A.R. The purpose of the current p...
