In addition, by presenting an application on the effect of the use of augmented reality in health education on the performance of students, it is aimed to investigate the students' perspectives on the use of this technology and its use as an educational tool in teaching-learning through students' perspectives. For this purpose, an anatomy application for anatomy lesson was designed with Unity 3B platform, Blender and After Effect, and 150 students studying at Vocational Department of Health Services were asked to experience the augmented reality application developed. Mobile augmented reality application was made available to students during the application process. as a result, "Student Views Questionnaire on the Use of Augmented Reality Application in Health Education" was applied. Frequency and percentage distributions were used to determine student views. The results obtained in the research show that students respond positively to the use of technology and they believe that the use of technology in the learning-teaching process will increase their performance.
