Augmented Realty Application online books for Children with Special Needs.

Smart Books for Children with Special Needs deliver an augmented reality ‘smart book’ concept, where the reader chooses the path through the paper book’s narrative, interacting with both a book and digital content on a smartphone or tablet, and in this way gains an interactive reading experience. Augmented reality apps for educational purposes are designed to enhance learning by making it interactive and promoting higher engagement. AR apps open up a new world of learning opportunities to children that go beyond traditional lessons. It makes learning fun and immersive, just like being in a video game. Kids have a very short attention span, and one of the greatest challenges for educators is to hold a child’s attention long enough to facilitate the learning process. The use of AR apps can help overcome this problem. Using interactive approaches will engage the child more with what they are being taught. It feels like playing to them, but they are learning in the process. Making education entertaining is an excellent way to encourage kids to participate in the activity, resulting in them absorbing even more knowledge.

Parents need to guide the Children with Special Needs on how to use the application and the book. This application is for children but needs parents to observe.
