WHAT ARE THE DOWNSIDES OF AUGMENTED REALITY.

Many augmented reality projects rely on specific or customized hardware, and the mechanisms that correlate data added by technology with the real world are often technically complex. One of the downside of augmented reality is the expensive costs of hardware. Besides, augmented reality projects can also be expensive to buy the hardware’s and also in maintaining the development of the augmented reality projects. The augmented reality projects today focus on the individual users and may not lend themselves to team activities or group learning. In addition, the projects that are develop can raise questions about their pedagogic value. Educational institutions must announce to educators to be careful that activities have educational merit and do not let students be taken with the technology alone.
