Abstract
This chapter explores the format of Augmented Reality (AR) and its use in mobile learning. It first addresses precedents and theories of mLearning that inform the discussion of AR and Virtual Reality (VR), explores the "virtuality continuum" and the concept of mixed reality, and discusses some of the technologies in the mobile-AR ecosystem. It then describes the potential uses of AR in mobile education. At the end, the authors present potential applications of mobile-AR to curation activities and provide ideas for future areas of exploration in AR-based mLearning. Copyright © 2012 IGI Global.
