While the use of augmented reality (AR) in higher education is still in its infancy, it is an area that is growing rapidly. Researchers have identified an opportunity to introduce AR technology into Pharmacy teaching at Monash University and Biomedical Sciences teaching at Warwick. The universities will work together to develop AR content including interactive learning materials on the cardiovascular system, normal physiological functions, the physical consequences of diseases, and the mechanism of drugs used to treat them.
