A view of an outdoor Augmented Reality (AR) Learning Experience on biodiversity. This is a screenshot taken while using the mobile location-based AR application developed as part of my PhD thesis in educational technology. The augmented 3D model is attached to geographical coordinates and anchored by the application to simulate its belonging to the real world. This of point of interest offers pedagogical contents upon approaching it (location trigger). It allows the collection or visualization of contextualized data on biodiversity. The objective of the research is to study the gains and losses of using this technology for biodiversity education. The question is framed within a broader discussion on the use of mobile technologies in education. It offers an original simulation and blending of the virtual and physical worlds.
