Abstract:
Augmented reality (AR) is a technology with remarkable potential in enhancing the learning of physics in the pre-university education, having the ability to stimulate students' interest and engagement in teaching activities. Through GeoGebra software, we can exploit this technology to merge real-world elements with virtual information, providing relevance to abstract physical concepts. In this paper, we aim to present the applications developed with GeoGebra software for the implementation of augmented reality in the study of oscillatory systems (Maxwell pendulum, Mach pendulum), as well as in the analysis of heat transfer from a building to the outside environment. Additionally, we have explored the possibility of applying this technology in solving geometrical optics problems, creating attractive and interactive environments aimed at enhancing understanding of optical concepts and phenomena. The development of 3D models for studying various systems and the integration of AR experiments in investigating physical phenomena supports the digital and scientific literacy of young learners and represent a significant step in transforming how physics is perceived by students, making it more accessible and relatable to their everyday experience.
