Editing Augmented reality (section)

===Remote collaboration===
Primary school children learn easily from interactive experiences. As an example, astronomical constellations and the movements of objects in the [[Solar System]] were oriented in 3D and overlaid in the direction the device was held, and expanded with supplemental video information. Paper-based science book illustrations could seem to come alive as video without requiring the child to navigate to web-based materials.

In 2013, a project was launched on [[Kickstarter]] to teach about electronics with an educational toy that allowed children to scan their circuit with an iPad and see the electric current flowing around.<ref>{{Cite web|url=https://circuits.lightup.io/|title=LightUp - An award-winning toy that teaches kids about circuits and coding|website=LightUp|language=en-US|access-date=29 August 2018|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20180829110100/https://circuits.lightup.io/|archive-date=29 August 2018|url-status=dead}}</ref> While some educational apps were available for AR by 2016, it was not broadly used. Apps that leverage augmented reality to aid learning included SkyView for studying astronomy,<ref>{{Cite web|title = Terminal Eleven: SkyView – Explore the Universe|url = http://www.terminaleleven.com/skyview/iphone/|website = www.terminaleleven.com|access-date = 15 February 2016}}</ref> AR Circuits for building simple electric circuits,<ref>{{Cite web|title = AR Circuits – Augmented Reality Electronics Kit|url = http://arcircuits.com|website = arcircuits.com|access-date = 15 February 2016}}</ref> and SketchAR for drawing.<ref>{{Cite web|url=http://sketchar.tech|title=SketchAR - start drawing easily using augmented reality|website=sketchar.tech|access-date=20 May 2018}}</ref>

AR would also be a way for parents and teachers to achieve their goals for modern education, which might include providing more individualized and flexible learning, making closer connections between what is taught at school and the real world, and helping students to become more engaged in their own learning.
