Augmented Reality Technology Promises Breakthroughs In Education. One of the greatest problems now facing humanity is the worrisome lack of quality education for each new generation. In many nations, a quality education is attainable by very few people, and public schools – especially in the United States – suffer from a chronic lack of funding and education reform.

If you haven’t heard about the augmented reality app Aurasma, get ready because it will blow your mind.

A student uses the iPad to scan an image that brings an informational video to life. Like this:
