Augmented Reality in Early Childhood Education: The Active Triangle Kids® Project
摘要
In recent times, society has been influenced by technological advancements that have facilitated progress and brought corresponding modifications across various fields and environments, both academic and professional. Within this context, emerging technologies such as augmented reality (AR), virtual reality (VR), extended reality (XR), and the Internet of Things (IoT) have gained prominence. These technologies have significantly contributed to the improvement of diverse areas, including education, industry, and medicine, among others. In this regard, Active Triangle Kids® was developed as a project based on augmented reality, specifically designed for children aged 3–6 years. The project encompassed the design, planning, and training of an optical recognition application, along with the creation of a demo for a video game utilizing augmented reality. As a result, each component of the project was successfully developed independently, ensuring effective training and programming. The project concludes by highlighting its unique aspects, identifying the current limitations of its components, and outlining potential future directions for further development and improvement.
