SAARTE – Spatially-Aware Augmented Reality in Teaching and Education

The SAARTE research project is investigating the use of augmented reality in education. The focus is on applications in environmental education and higher education, where interactive AR technologies are used to make learning processes spatially tangible. The project is funded by the European Regional Development Fund (ERDF) and the state of Rhineland-Palatinate.
