Abstract

Augmented reality (AR) has been the main focus for several technology corporations in the past few years. AR is the integration of computer generated objects with the users’ environment. The advancement of hardware enables devices to create and place virtual objects in our setting. AR concepts have provided great capabilities for the educational, entertainment and health sector.

People, specifically Primary school children comprehend visual material much more efficiently than imaginary or textual subjects. Augmented reality helps in visualizing and picturing different subjects in classrooms whereas traditionally students would have to imagine the subjects at hand.

ARKit is a powerful framework developed for iOS that enables iOS based devices to provide AR capabilities. This framework supports the placement of computer generated object in to our world in a seamless and effortless manner.

The proposed system is an augmented reality mobile application which illustrates the movement of the solar system. It also incorporates functionality to show specific information about planets for educational purposes. the system is a gateway for developing similar educational applications for school children.
