The increasing use of mobile devices and advancements in augmented reality (AR) technology have opened up new opportunities for educational experiences beyond traditional classroom settings. This paper presents a design for a mobile app that utilizes AR technology to enhance the learning experience. The app provides an interactive and immersive environment for students and educators to explore educational content related to various subjects and topics. The paper discusses the research problem, literature review, user and technical requirements, and system design for the app. The app includes a library of AR content related to different subjects, such as science, history, math, and language arts, and allows users to upload their own AR models to the library. The paper also proposes a video connect feature that enables users to collaborate and communicate in real-time. The app’s design and features are based on related research papers, which demonstrate the effectiveness of AR technology in enhancing the learning experience and improving student engagement and motivation. The app’s design incorporates best practices for user experience and accessibility, and leverages the capabilities of modern mobile devices to provide a seamless and immersive experience. This paper concludes that the proposed app has the potential to revolutionize the way we approach education, providing a powerful tool for learners and educators to engage with educational content in new and innovative ways. Further research and development are needed to fully realize the app’s potential and ensure its effectiveness in diverse educational contexts.
